* Hedeby - Graves: Three graves (159/1960, 182-185, 27/1963) contained fragments of very fine blue linen with, in two cases red threads, in one case white threads creating small checks. The blue/ red cloth from grave 159/1960 was from a shirt, as was probably the blue/white cloth in grave 27/1963. The blue/red cloth in grave 182-185 was from a decorative band.

- Skjoldehamn, Norway (~1075): The decorative square and collar on the shirt were of stripped 2/1 twill. The base colour is red with narrow strips of green and yellow next to each other. [LOVLID 2009 p. 97)
- London, Milk Street and Watling Court (late C9th - early C12th): Three of the nine tabby woven fragments had weft strips of paired threads. In one case the strips may well have been dyed with madder to accentuate the pattern. [PRITCHARD 1984, p. 52)
- London, Milk Street and Watling Court (late C9th - late C10th): A 2/2 twill was found which had a thicker thread in every third weft, which was dyed red with madder the other weft threads were dyed blue (woad), creating a textile which would have been blue with red strips. [PRITCHARD 1984, p. 57)
- Hedeby-Settlement: Fragment S 27A is a 2/2 diamond twill which has two darker warp threads (ca. 1mm) after every ten light warp threads (ca 10mm). All the weft threads are dark. Under magnification the light threads are a reddish-yellow-brown, the darker threads are a reddish-brownblack, indicating a fabric woven from natural lighter and darker threads was dyed red.
