English Civil War weaving

[cdonovan]

Hello everyone, newbie here so please be kind! I'd like to do weaving at English Civil War renactment events, but am not completely sure what techniques were most commonly used. I think it is pit-treadle looms for wider spans of wool and linen fabric (I'm not doing that, you have to sit in a hole!) and tablet weaving for narrow decorative strips. Is this right, does anyone know?

If you're on facebook,look at the ECWS living history group...just their type of query!

are you on Ravelry? Quite a lot of weavers over there with an interest in historic methods. Maybe start with the Historic Sewing group there and see what they suggest http://www.ravelry.com/groups/historic-sewing
