Few pictures, unfortunately, but perhaps these files in the TEXTILE
ARTS section of the Florilegium might help:

There are also a number of other files in this section that involve
other textile arts such as embroidery, cross-stitch, lace and dyeing
that I have not listed here.

I also recommend this file in the COMMERCE section if you are thinking
about selling handicrafts:
merchanting-msg   (52K) 11/27/00    Merchanting in the SCA.

The Florilegium is at: http://www.florilegium.org

I hope this helps.
