Vararfeldr is an internationally touring exhibition of eight reconstructed Viking-era trade cloaks, all handwoven by Sarah of Ardebag Crafts, based on archaeological fragments.

This volume contains high-quality photographs of all eight vararfeldir, plus a section of authentic Viking-era sailcloth, as well as research and creative insights from folklorist and author Alicia Anne Adams.

Discover why this imposing, shaggy style of weaving was so important to Icelandic trade. Learn how women and weavers changed the course of North European History. And gain a glimpse into the lives of the people who wove, wore and traded these remarkable cloaks via Alicia's original stories.

A perfect souvenir of the exhibition itself, but likewise a marvellous gift for anyone interested in weaving, textile history, Vikings, or experimental archaeology.
