Title: The Valkyries' Loom Author: Michèle Hayeur Smith Narrator: Ann Richardson Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Release date: 10-31-23 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 5 ratings Genres: Archaeology Publisher's Summary: This groundbreaking study is based on the author's systematic comparative analysis of the vast textile collections in Iceland, Greenland, Denmark, Scotland, and the Faroe Islands, materials that are largely unknown even to archaeologists and span 1,000 years. Through these garments and fragments, Hayeur Smith provides new insights into how the women of these island nations influenced international trade by producing cloth (vaðmál); how they shaped the development of national identities by creating clothing; and how they helped their communities survive climate change.
