[Ansteorra-textiles] some ideas

[Robert and Beth Ellis]

I like the idea of everything you've come up with. Booklet themes are running
through my mind.....  I've got all sorts of info sitting around here on
archaeological textile finds, and writing up an article(s) on that (weave
structure, fiber source, dyes, regional trends, clothing style deductions,
etc.etc.etc.) would make me have to finally collate it all together.
Coherence.  What a concept.
