Natural Dyeing With Weld
Weld is one of the more well known historical dyes of the Viking age. It produces a bright almost neon yellow in the right conditions but can be shifted to green with things like iron or over-dyed with other dyes to create secondary colors.
Today we share excerpts from the dye day that our members Katla and Tyra had while playing with fresh weld and later shifting that color with iron. Although this video shows the use of modern tools and ingredients, make no mistake, the process of doing this over an open fire in the Viking age would not be too far removed from what we do today(with the exception of adding tums😉). We hope you enjoy the video and learn a thing or two as well.

Farming in the Viking Age
Переглядів 3,6 тис.4 роки тому
In today’s video, Siggeir just barely skims the surface of the foods and agriculture that the Viking Age Scandinavians had to either cultivate or forage for so long ago. Food and a need for more land to provide for their families is what motivated and drove the expeditions that gave name to the “Vikings”. Because let’s face it, we all get a bit berserk when we are hungry. #food #foraging #vikin...

    This seems to be a Viking style bowl/plate lathe. Turning centers should be at elbow height for spindle turning. Bowl hooks are not for spindle turning, nor is round (branch) wood, unless you intend to split the turning in two. At least you actually have a spring pole.

  • @AnimeShinigami13

    I've found that unrolled cotton balls make good test subjects that you can make a small amount of a dye to test it out. Also one way to tell if there's a lot of iron in your tap water is if you regularly get a pink slimy film on your bathtub and sink that you have to scrub off. That pink film is a bacteria that consumes iron. So if you get it in your apartment building you know that there's at least a little iron in your water. I also recently experimented with heating my water in a kettle that looked like it was made of bronze, but could also be copper. Using this water to brew purple cabbage yarn made a lighter color with an unearthly glow to it. Not a literal glow, I mean the shade it developed. It was incredible. Also don't forget that besides urine you can get alkali from potash. Put your ashes out in a pot or jar before it rains, and then let the rainwater fill the jar and seep in. Oak produced high quality potash.

  • @vulzen
    @vulzen 3 роки тому

    I can get most of the changes that were done when they simplified the runic alphabet and created the younger futhark. However, I still don't understand why the younger futhark didn't keep the Dagaz, Pertho, Gebo and the Ehwaz runes for /d/, /p/, /g/ and /e/. It's kind of making things more complicated. I've also heard that the rune yr made an /y/ vowel sound too. Is that true?
