I guess my question could be refined to the following:
Would it have been more likely that the Picts would have used
tablet-weaving as a means of stabilizing the weaving structure of their
twill fabrics in process, or would they have used a simple tabby weave,
much the way that 'modern' weavers do on their horizontal looms?
If I were making the decisions, trying to weave the most appropriate
Pictish cloth I could, I think I would be most likely to use tubular
selvedges. They're very common in Iron Age weaving. Integral tablet woven
selvedges are much more rare.
