Fresh off the presses, we’ve got a new article that includes quite a few nalbound examples; including one I hadn’t seen before!
“Icelandic mittens from archaeological contexts” by Charlotte Rimstad, Ulla Mannering, Joe W. Walser III, Freyja H. Ó. Sesseljudóttir and Susanne Mueller includes some very nice photographs of several nalbound mittens; the one found in Iceland and several comparables from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
When they say click on the image, they mean click on the orange cover image with the pair of mittens on it. That is the only place where the download link is located. I have heard there are some issues with the image loading on some mobile devices.
The article says that “later analysis” of the Oslo mitten has determined that it is made with “Ribe stitch”/”Finnish stitch” (UUOO/UUOOO), but there is no source for this “later analysis”. It disagrees with your NOW analysis of the surface texture of the same mitten.
I just thought this was interesting, especially that there is so much disagreement over this mitten.
