/* Checks */
*Birka, Sweden: 1 example of a linen tabby fragment was found in Grave 757 where both in the warp and the weft a white then red thread followed every 5-6 blue threads.The cloth had about 20 threads per cm, so the checks were quite small. [GEIJER 1938: p.15]
 
*Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): One example (E-76) of a plain 2/2 twill had black stripes of different widths in warp and weft giving it a "scottish" look. The other threads were brown. [HUNDT 1981:p.15]
