- Skjoldehamn, Norway (~1075): The decorative square and collar on the shirt were of striped 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 stripes of paired threads. In one case the stripes 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 stripes. [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 which was dyed red.
