*Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): 22 examples of cloth where the warp and weft threads were of different natural coloured threads. In most one thread is black/brown-black and the other thread a lighter brown or in a few cases a reddish brown. [HUNDT 1981:p.40]
*Netherlands: 6 of 28 analysed fabrics showed a naturally dark thread in one system and a lighter thread in the other thread system. [BRANDENBURG BRANDENBURGH 2009: p.49]

*Birka, Sweden: A woollen tabby weave fragment was found in Grave 1090 with 5mm wide stripes in alternating blue and redish-brown coloured threads. [GEIJER 1938: p.36]
*Netherlands: Different coloured threads were used to create stripes or blocks in the fabric. Macroscopally this has been observed in 5 textiles, but thread analysis suggests it might have been done more often. [BRANDENBURG BRANDENBURGH 2009: p. 49]
