<<I did a piece, dated around 1000 CE, from the York book, but I used Icelandic, which wasn't really suitable, so it didn't work out very well--had to cut the piece off the loom after just 8 inches, because the warp was shredding so badly.>>
I don't know how you wove it, or on what type of loom (or, more importantly, with what kind of heddles) but keep in mind the original, from York, was probably woven on a warp-weighted loom, which puts much less stress and abrasion on the warp. Another book you should check out is Kerridge, Eric. Textile Manufactures in Early Modern England. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1985.
