This video is made by request from one of my subscribers. I also got some requests based on my last video about the hosen to take a little more time to explain the terminology and show the sewing techniques so its easier for people who are new to sewing to follow and learn with the video.
In this episode I will make a reconstruction or interpretation of a simple pill box style hat based on textile fragments from vikinge age Hedeby in modern day northern Germany.
The fabric is leftovers from my video about making the hosen. It is thick wool dyed with mix of onion skins and walnuts. The original fragments has no trace of a linen liner, but I wanted this for extra padding and comfort.
The hosen I made in the previous video are working really well. The thick wool lets me walk through bramble bushes without being scratched or getting caught. They are warm and comfortable and a great addition to my viking kit.
This video is primarily recorded in Klelund in the south western Denmark. It is one of the few places in Denmark that has a population of wild boar. This huge forest is fenced and protected. The wild boar is native to Denmark but has been hunted to extinction. The boars do occationaly enter Denmark crossing our southern border from Northern Germany. But due to fear of them infecting the huge populations of domestic pigs for meat production sadly they are hunted down and kept out. So the few populations we have are controlled and kept in fenced wildlife areas. They are one of my favourite animals in the nordic forest and I was very fortunate to have a few of them visit me while i sat beneath the oaks. They are very strong and powerful animals and you have to be very respectful with them. But I like the fact that it never ceases to remind me that I am merely a guest and I am not in charge here. Its a healthy perspective i think.
All video and music is produced by me.
