Wool Heavy Twill 2/2 Wide Stripes Guddal – Dark Beige Light Beige – WCHTS 8587/04

37,00 m

Inspired by the Guddal tunic

This textile features characteristic narrow stripes and is crafted using a 2/2 twill weave. Despite the high grammage, the fabric is soft and drapes nicely. Unlike laminated fabrics, the fabric is loosely woven, as it has only 6/7 threads per centimeter.

Made from premium wool, the fabric showcases a subtle diagonal pattern combined with the distinctive stripes, reflecting the intricate design of the mid-11th century original.

The pattern doesn’t have to limit you! Fabrics with a similar pattern have been found from the Bronze Age (for example, Hallstatt fabrics) to the present day!

The combination of historical authenticity and modern craftsmanship makes it perfect for historical reenactments or as an addition to contemporary clothing and interiors, adding a touch of medieval elegance.

Made by reenactors for reenactors.

OTHER FABRICS FROM THIS COLLECTION

The textiles from Guddal are significant archaeological finds consisting of a partially preserved tunic, shirt, and smaller fragments identified as a piece of a coat.

Discovered in 1970 during research in a swamp near the church in Guddal, the site was initially thought to be a burial ground for Black Death victims from the late 14th century. However, research conducted in 2007 revealed that these textiles are much older, likely dating to the mid-11th century.

Key points about the Guddal textiles:

  1. Found in a swamp near the church in Guddal in 1970, initially believed to be from the 14th century.
  2. Research in 2007 showed the textiles are from the mid-11th century.
  3. The find included a woolen tunic, a slightly shorter shirt, a coat, and a wooden cross.
  4. The original tunic had narrow stripes, but the wool was not dyed; various shades of brown wool were used during weaving.
  5. The Guddal textiles provide valuable insights into the clothing and burial practices of the mid-11th century, despite the limited information about the individual or the exact reasons for their unique burial circumstances.

The WCHT collection is a specially prepared assortment of fabrics inspired by archaeological finds.

These unique textiles are produced in limited quantities at the weaving mill of Ilia Staricov in Europe. Utilizing horizontal looms equipped with a "flying shuttle," these fabrics authentically replicate historical weaving techniques. Each piece in the WCHT collection embodies a blend of ancient craftsmanship and meticulous modern production, offering a rare opportunity to experience textiles steeped in history.

Wool fabrics are worth buying for several compelling reasons:

  1. Insulation: Wool provides excellent warmth, making it ideal for cold weather.
  2. Breathability: It regulates body temperature, keeping you comfortable in various climates.
  3. Durability: Wool is strong and resilient, ensuring long-lasting use.
  4. Moisture Management: It naturally wicks away moisture, keeping you dry.
  5. Odor Resistance: Wool's antibacterial properties prevent odors, even with prolonged wear.
  6. Sustainability: Wool is a renewable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly material.

Choosing wool fabrics combines comfort, functionality, and environmental benefits, making it a smart investment for quality and sustainability.

A twill pattern is a type of textile weave characterized by its diagonal rib pattern. This distinctive design is created by the way the weft threads are woven over and under the warp threads, typically in a pattern such as "over two, under two" (for a 2/2 twill). This method causes the weave to shift by two thread in each row, resulting in the diagonal lines that are the hallmark of twill fabric.

Key characteristics of twill patterns include:

  • Diagonal Ridges: Visible diagonal lines or ribs that run across the fabric.
  • Durability: The twill weave structure makes the fabric strong and resistant to wear and tear.
  • Texture: Twill fabrics often have a soft drape and texture, making them comfortable to wear.

Twill patterns are versatile and commonly used in clothing, upholstery, and other textile applications due to their strength and appealing texture.

Colour note!

Selling fabrics through the internet it is not an easy task, since our customers cannot see them in reality.
One of the most important factors, that make you decide whether to buy a fabric or not, is to get the right COLOUR that you are looking for, matching your entire costume and its accessories.

This is why at Woolsome shop we do our best to fulfill your expectations.

We've decided to use a professional photo studio and a special colour checker system to achieve an ideal colour representation of all our product pictures.
Our goal was to present them exactly as they appear in reality.

However it has to be noticed, that your computer's monitor (or mobile phone) can have tweaked settings and therefore may sometimes display colours differently than they are in reality.
It also play a role if you look at your screen :

  • in daylight, or in a shaded room
  • frontally or at a certain angle

It is all very tricky, and you should be also aware, that modern electronic devices have usually the biggest problem to present properly shades of the COLOUR RED.

While watching all different pictures, that we've prepared for each of our products, you will also notice that the main picture (being a frontal close-up) will always be a bit darker comparing to the other pictures presenting a an entire textile from a distance. It is natural, as our eyes are also perceiving the colours differently, depending on the strength and direction of the light around you.

Many of our historical fabrics are woven in a way, that the warp and the weft are in two different colours. As a result these textiles will look differently from close-up, where you can still clearly see the difference between these two different threads. When from the further distance, this fabric will present slightly different colour, being a result of a mix of those two.

We hope, that our photographical efforts will bring you full satisfaction, so that you will find in your package what you expected.

However, please always consider asking for samples first, before your purchase.  We also offer full sets of samples of each of our textile collection.
