This is part of a series of videos for my other interest, prehistory. I am glad some people watched this and (maybe) enjoyed it. :)

After watching 'The Egtved Girl' this video caught my attention. Very informative, thanks!

Cool, I love it!

Sunburn being as painful as it is I could see a string skirt and collar worn over gauzy thin woven linen tunic. You would be able to see through the tunic hence the string skirt and collar worn over the tunic as was done in early ancient Egypt.

Forwarded this to a friend who wrote about these in her PhD thesis!

Was the Bronze Age women's clothing made from flax or wool

Cool enough, I've always enjoyed things made by hand

Making string from raw flax hurts the fingers, but it is amazing! Next up, I need to make a Neolithic cold weather outfit with fur and leather.

Linen comes to mind, many cultures have made good use of this natural fiber. It seems so many great fibers have fallen from favor in these modern synthetic times... Hemp is another

Craig Nehring The string dress is made from flax, which is what makes linen. The cold weather clothing is based on my main character Ember, who is from the LBK culture, so for her it would be more leather and fur than cloth. I might also make some cloth using a weighted loom.

Yeah I know that about Linen, I just didn't hear you mention it. My Grandmother had all sorts of linen things, she was rather proud of, no string clothes however that I knew of LOL

Craig Nehring Linen is a nice fabric. Strings have not been common for hundreds of years. However, there are still traditional outfits with string-skirt-like decorations in the front of regular (traditional) dresses. These are holdbacks from much earlier times. Can't wait to get into the next items!

Just what I was looking for my dude . ty

very cool!

Looks like the Forsworn.

Where did you get the jute fibre?

Those flax fibers look the same like hemp fibers that are used to seal threaded connections on steel water pipes

I think the hemp fibres you use are often actually flax ones too. Where i live most plumbing fibres are. Both flax and hemp must among the moat important plants known to man (historically speaking).

where did you get that blond wig? did you use?

Blond wig? Do you mean flax fiber? (ordered that fiber from Etsy) Let me know what time in the video your are speaking of and I'll see what you mean.

You and Keith H Burgess have a lot in common. His vids are great too.
