A while ago, someone on this list asked for reference to a shuttle found in Waterford, Ireland. I've come across a completely unrelated object, but relevant for the early medieval horisontal looms: A pulley from Sigtuna, Sweden (dated to 11th-12th centuries). Picture here:

8 is much bigger than 38. At least for ladies' shoes I wear between a size 6.5 to 7.5 in the UK depending on the shoe designer and on the Continent that would be around 41. Thus 8 would be 42/43. Nicole - Original Message From: Bjarne og Leif Drews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

Bjarne-- A size 8 US men's shoe would be a 38 or 39 European size. You can't trust US sizes, though--they vary quite a bit. Kim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bjarne og Leif Drews Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 7:33 AM To: [EMAIL

This is true. But I can say for sure: I (female) wear a size 37 in the European shoes I wear (Berkenstock, but also some closed shoes) and a 6 1/2 or 7 in American-sized shoes; my consort (male) wears an 8 or 8 1/2 American size. There's no way he could fit into my shoes, and his are too large
