'''Discussion''' <br>
Ostergärd discusses a method of making pouches in medieval Greenland from sheep scrotums. The scrotum was cut away, cleaned inside, the wool removed, packed with hay and hung out to dry. [OSTERGARD 2004]:p.39]<br>

==The use of fake fur==
A form of fake fur made from wool has been found in a number of sites. These pieces of 'fake fur' consist of a piece of cloth with tufts of fleece incorporated into it either during weaving or afterwards with a needle. Other terms for the same effect are "rog" or "flokatti".<br>
