I have just recently taken a class on felting wool. Now I've been reading about using it as helmet liners (even though we don't know what they actually used-but glue was found on the inside of a helm at a site that eludes me right now). And I've been reading about re-enactors felting a subermalis to experiment with..... Now my questions.....<br>
<br>
Do we actually know what kind of items that they felted? Also, did the Romans (Legions) up in Northern Brittania have felted socks or mittens (talking mid first century AD). I know that they had socks that were woven and that a sock was found in Egypt that was done with naalbinding (still trying to find out if the Romans did naalbinding as well- if anyone knows anything about this I would be much grateful as well). But in the realm of felting, socks? Mittens? Any info and research/reading material referances are much appreciated.<br>
