/* Tabby */
*Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): 62 fragments of tabby were found. 9 had z-spun threads in both warp and weft the other 53 had tight z-spun threads in the warp and loose woven s-threads in the weft. [HUNDT 1981: p.4] 9 fragments had different natural coloured threads in the warp and weft [HUNDT 1981: p. 7] ( Walton-Rogers reports incorrectly that 162 examples of tabby were found at Elisenhof [WALTON 1989:p.?])
*Birka, Sweden: 17 of the 89 wool fragments described by Geijer were of a tabby weave. And all of the 11 linen fragments described were also tabbies. One of the linen fragments was blue and white checked. [GEIJER 1938: p.14, 21, 35]
*Scar, Orkney: A piece of tabby woven cloth was found mineralised to the weaving batton in the female grave. [OWEN & and DALLAND 1999:p. 93]
