Hi all! I've searched the archives but haven't found what I'm looking for. My group (focused on Norway, 1299-1319) is planning to make an embroidered standard/banner, as historically accurate as possible in design, techniques and materials. The details aren't clear yet, but the project may involve couching gold thread onto silk. So here's the thing: most sources I've been able to find only refer to "gold thread" and don't go into whether this is bullion/purl (and if so what kind), or solid drawn thread, or what. Does anyone have any sources for the period, give or take a few years? Preferably for Northern Europe, but Europe in general is good.
Thanks in advance!
