Hi. The recent book (2005) on the Mary Rose finds mentions some silk
thread being found in conjunction with the leather jerkins. I can quote
the source if needed. Mike T.
I've seen this mentioned in a number of places but don't have a cite
offhand. If I were to look for one, it would be in the Museum of London's
"Textiles and Dress" book. Another possibility is Else Ostergard's "Woven
Into the Earth," which mentions the paucity of linen survivals in
Greenland; whether it discusses thread, I'm not sure.
