Weave Along with Elewys, Ep. 10: Siksala Shawl Spiral Motif

This spiral tablet weaving motif is from the Siksala shawl, a 13th or 14th century grave find from Estonia. There are more than a dozen different motifs around this woven and beaded edge. I have chosen one very pretty motif, and its mirror image, to show you for this video. And once again, after finding images for folks who have recreated this shawl, one of them is Mervi Pasanen. The next in our Laurel Kingdoms project is the Kingdom of Atlantia, created in 1981 whose borders encompass Maryland; Virginia; North and South Carolina; Augusta, Georgia & Washington DC. Their colors are blue and white. Pattern for this weave can be found at my blog: More motifs from the Siksala shawl can be found in this PDF booklet for sale on Etsy:
