I am looking for evidence of clothing made of silk in 9th-11th C Viking society. Any ideas where I should look?
In addition to the headwear that Cathy mentioned, there are a couple of good resources for silk used to _trim_ Viking clothing. Specifically the publications on textiles from Birka and from the Oseburg find. In both cases, we're talking primarily about narrow strips cut from imported decorative silk fabrics that have been applied as trim to some garment (although the nature of the garment isn't always identifiable).
