|Literature
|Archaeology=*Hedeby Harbour: 20 pieces of felt were found. One was the facemask, the others could not be identified as particular items. Some of the felt fragments consisted of two destinct layers one of light wool the other of dark wool. Hagg thinks the original item may have had a pattern cut into the top layer to make a pattern of light and dark wool. [HAGG 1984: p.96]Hagg says the felt came in two types: 1, a thin but dense felt ideal for caps/hats. 2, a thicker but looser felt ideal for saddle pads.[HAGG 1984: p.195]
*Hedeby Settlement: 8 fragments of felt were found in the settlement. Hagg suggests that the production of felt may have taken place in Hedeby. The felt was secondarily used as tar brushes and to caulk the ships. [HAGG 1991: p.99-104]
