Our work in the UCD Experimental Archaeology Lab began with a lovely pile of cleaned fleece from Valais Blacknose sheep (Image: CC-SA 2.0 alex.ch). #TeamNun #UCDExperimentalArchaeology

The #TeamNun fleece-to-embroidery project continues! The wool thread that we prepared at #ucdexperimentalarchaeology is dyed, dried, and ready to go to Scotland to be tested out by TeamNun St Andrews! Madder (red/brown) and Woad (blue) thread, and Weld (yellow) and Weld + Woad (green) fleece!

This looks like an interesting archaeology practical - experimental medieval beer brewing... and they get to test the results next week! 🍺🌾 https://www.facebook.com/groups/UCDExperimentalArchaeology/permalink/2669212399840201?sfns=mo
