/* Herringbone & Chevron */
*Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): 2 examples of 2/1 chevron were found, both were leg bindings. [HUNDT 1981:p.15]
** 4 examples of 2/2 chevrons were found, all were warp chevrons. Only 1 example was non-accidental, the other 3 occuring in the same piece of textile as either herringbone or a diamond twill. In 2 fragments (possibly from the same piece of cloth) the chevron and herringbone alternated forming a kind of striped pattern. In the other fragment there was one strip of chevron at the edge of a diamond twill.[HUNDT 1981: p.16]
**125 examples of 2/2 herringbone twill were found. 1 of these had z-spun threads in both the warp and the weft. 7 look like they may have been dyed, though they have not been analysed. 5 fragments show differnt natural colours in the warp and weft, mostly a black warp and a light brown weft.
