Tablet weaving on the Oseberg weaving frame

Tablet weaving was a method of producing narrow bands of decorative cloth which were often used to decorate the edges of garments such as tunics. It is often practised with the working end attached to the belt and the other to a peg in the floor, however there is some evidence for weaving frames: This frame is a reconstruction of the fragmentary frame found with the partly completed tablet weaving from the Oseberg ship burial.
