Your hair is glorious, and i love the clothes, the tutorials or demonstrations of making them, and to see what life is like in a cold snowy country, thankyou for sharing.
I just found this, and it's fantastic! Great job on everything. I especially like the skis as I have recently became interested in historic scandinavian skiing. Thanks for the video!
Temperature of the snow makes a difference in which wax works best, at least for modern ski wax. The bottoms need to be really smooth, iron the wax into the bottoms, scrape off as much as possible, then buff them shinny. Check out some videos on waxing modern skis.
Since regular candle wax didn't work, maybe try some bee's wax? I use that on my weaving loom so that the weft rods will rotate smoothly. It might work on skis. If not, try some commercial ski wax.
I've just started to replace my sewing machine with learning how to hand sew. I want to make custom made pants and I'm making them in wool. It would be wonderful if you did a tutorial on this. Love your work!
I was watching a documentary a while back about the north west passage, and one of the explorers became friendly with the Inuit in the area, who taught him to put water on his sled skis and let it freeze which helped it to glide more easily? I wonder if this could help with your skis?
I learned recently that if you sand with super fine grit sandpaper- it causes the sawdust to become very fine and plug the pores in the wood. This will make the wood super smooth and less absorbent for liquids/paints/stains. You'd likely be able to wax after doing that and get a good slide.
Can I ask why didn't you have a belt of some sort (as I don't think a pin would be enough) in order to tie all your layers together, & so keep the layers closed in the front to keep the heat in? Having layers but with the fronts all left open (except the dress layer) seems a little illogical & ineffective in a cold climate. Would they also of worn more layers, like another dress type layer? I also think they would definitely of protected their legs more with some sort of under garment/trousers/pants, & with furs wrapped/tied around their lower legs/feet for warmth & extra protection against the snow. Protecting your feet from frost bite would be essential. So wrapping the feet with woolen cloth inside the shoes, &/or maybe adding wool (or even straw?!) would help to keep the feet warm inside the shoes. Having grown up in a rural area next to woods & farm land, where in winter we had 3 to 4' snow & we & the nearby village we were cut off, we had to be out in the snow all the time & had to trek through 3 to 5 miles of snow to reach the local town for any supplies when the roads were blocked for vehicles. So I'm thinking from the terms of staying warm in a cold climate, & my limited knowledge of the clothes of the ancient tribes in Wales & ancient Britons (including the Vikins & Saxons) rather than any serious knowledge of a Viking wardrobe. But I think logic tells me the key in a cold climate is to stay warm & dry for survival, so essential to ensure you have your feet/legs protected enough & not to have your layers open when outside. Anyhow, best wishes.
Put some fur under your ski - this should help with sliding (of course you fix it in the way, that your forward moving is going in the dirction of the fur). The other advantage is, that if you go uphill, the fur will help you not to slide back too quickly, because the hair will sligthly block the backsliding. When I was a kid I had old ski and they had fur pads underneath. It was not a soft, long haired fur, but rather short, with brittle hair. No idea which animal it was from, but it needs to be durable. With wax it might get too slippery or the snow will clump underneath if it is the wrong wax for the snow.
Hi! I saw that recently on a documentary about old wood skis. A clip from east russia showed how they had different types of skis for different purpuses and how they put fur under. I forgot what animal he recomended, utter maybe? I have to watch it again. 👍
You need to sand the bottom with finer and finer grit sandpaper, then when you are very smooth put on polish and buff it, then add more polish and buff it again.
out of curiosity, were layered skirts usually not worn? I thought that many layers of woolen skirts were typically used to stay warm in winter weather. great video!
Härligt att se snö när det är 25 grader ute! 🥵😄 Om du hade vänt på den under cardiganen (heter det så i bestämd form?! 😆) och haft den bak och fram så hade du fått mer tyg över benen där du frös? Kunde det ha funkat? Hade förvisso blivit kallare bakifrån, men ändå mer jämnt fördelat. 😀
Kul projekt och fina skidor! 😍 jag tjärar mina träskidor i mars och låter dem härda i vårsolen. Tjäran blir hård och sen glider de fint nästa säsong. Men blötsnö är iofs inte kul, oavsett vad en har på skidorna. 😊
You have a beautiful studio. Love the colour on the wall and the beautiful furnitures and gallery wall.
Hilsen fra Danmark 😊

Lovely natural and beautiful wool clohing. You live in such a beautiful place too. Thanks for sharing

Wow you are so beautiful and talented!! Thank you for sharing! Im off to check out your store❤

Thank you, I’m so happy to have found your videos! This dress is far easier than the pattern I’ve been using.

Your outfit turned out really awesome 😊 if you are making your viking trousers I'd love to see a tutorial on this. 😄

You look very picturesque and cozy in this outfit!

Ah, this explains why I have a Scandinavian and an Inuit gene in my DNA test altogether.
Yes that would probably work if it was colder, but it was a bit to wet snow this time 😅
I'm from Canada, you need fur lined shoes. Possibly leather strapping around the birch bindings so they don't cut into the tops of your feet.

Oh I have heard the oposite about that 🤔

Wow your skis are so cool! You’re a badass. I’m going to try to make a cardigan like that in the fall
Very pretty 😀
I hope you make more videos. I want to see more sewing ideas
Nice video! I'd love to see how you sew trousers if you add them to this outfit
You're making a beautiful clothing!

I would love to See more of your georgious content 😍😊
Tack :)
Great video ^^
You look lovely!!
You need to sand the bottom with finer and finer grit sandpaper, then when you are very smooth put on polish and buff it, then add more polish and buff it again.
Thank you but I want to use only historic methods :)
@@runfridr Leather, either belt or scraps. Historically they would use leather to polish swords to a fine polish, so why not skiis?
out of curiosity, were layered skirts usually not worn? I thought that many layers of woolen skirts were typically used to stay warm in winter weather.
great video!
Hi! No skirts where not a thing yet but you could use several wool dresses :)
@@runfridr interesting! It seems obvious now that you say it, but i didn't imagine that skirts weren't used at the time. thank you for the reply!
Web links aren’t correct in your text. Think it’s missing something. Thought I’d let you know. I can’t find the download pattern link though :(
Thank you for letting me know! I have changed the links now :)
väntaaa vars bor du nånstans?? för om du är typ skåning eller stockholmare vet jag inte vad jag gör
Härligt att se snö när det är 25 grader ute! 🥵😄

Haha ja de kanske man kan, lr bara ha en till överkjortel, meb jag tror byxor blir ett måste i kallare väder 😅
Are the sleeve sewing methods old. I’ve never seen them done like that.
Yes its a very old way of making sleeves :)
Kul projekt och fina skidor! 😍 jag tjärar mina träskidor i mars och låter dem härda i vårsolen. Tjäran blir hård och sen glider de fint nästa säsong. Men blötsnö är iofs inte kul, oavsett vad en har på skidorna. 😊
Tack! :D Ok, gör du det varje år då? Ska ta fram o kladda på!
@@runfridr ja, eller iaf de år jag skidat. 😊 kör bara kör! (Fast fördelen med att tjära i mars utöver sol är att det inte fastnar insekter i tjäran)
Vilka häftiga skidor🤩! Helt makalöst vilka grejer du gör!👏😍 Dig skulle man ju vilja gå på kurs hos och sy vikingakäder😁 Hoppas få se mer av dig snart🙏
How were viking shoes?
Viking shoes where sewn inside out and then turned= turn shoe. You can see some types if you google :)
