I keep reading about a herringbone weave but at Vindolanda 62% of the textiles were a diamond weave. How far apart are the points of the v's in the herringbone weave? <p></p><i></i>

I cannot tell it in general but here goes a pic. To the left is a fragment of Fourth century AD Roman herringbone twill from Deurne (NL). To the right is a modern replica of diamond twill based on the Thorsberg (DE) finds (the count of threads is higher on the real textile, though )<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

My new tunic is an unbleached herringbone weave, and is not far off the scale of the originals. I'll post up a piccie of that and my herringbone weave waistband next week. I've also got some images of some of the reconstructed herringbone/diamond twill textiles from the drenthe museum, i'll see if i can find them... <p></p><i></i>
