Doing so required some rather tedious, extra work. A few rows before the feather began, I cut the two black warp threads from the center tablet. At this point, the cream color is on the top of the band, and the black threads are in the bottom position so any changes to them will not be noticed on top. Next, I inserted a temporary pin horizontally through the underside of the band and attached two burgundy threads to it, each about 10 inches long. I would tie the other ends of those burgundy threads to the black warp threads that I had cut previously, making sure the tension of those threads stayed consistent with the rest of my warp. I would then weave the feather. A few rows after I finished weaving the feather, I removed the pin (the burgundy threads have been woven enough at this point that the pin is no longer needed to anchor them). Then, I untied the burgundy threads from the black threads so that I could retie them together, adjusting it so the black threads begin again at this point and any leftover length of burgundy thread could be removed. After finishing the band, I used a sewing needle to hide any tails created from this process into the band's back. A side note: This whole technique is a very similar process as to how one could fix a broken warp thread, using a needle to anchor a new one in a place where a warp thread has broken. https://www.svanavefari.com/blog/oseberg-34d monthly 0.5 2022-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c61640d1c15f3a180298ae/1640916719601-NBVHCD383LGDUDX8W9SJ/Osberg+Photos-3.jpg Tablet Weaving - Oseberg 34D https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c61640d1c15f3a180298ae/1640916855995-C1T9PSHEA4LTUK4X3OP4/Osberg+Photos-4small.jpg Tablet Weaving - Oseberg 34D https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c61640d1c15f3a180298ae/1640916860860-A5MD74NQSYHDKPJYID6B/Osberg+Photos-5small.jpg Tablet Weaving - Oseberg 34D https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c61640d1c15f3a180298ae/5f431e45-97ab-4bee-8d4f-1f5175c365a1/thumbnail.jpg Tablet Weaving - Oseberg 34D - Make it stand out Weaving Soumak with needle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c61640d1c15f3a180298ae/a4b8f1ef-fe2c-4ceb-a7a6-5bfb267f829d/reverse.jpg Tablet Weaving - Oseberg 34D - Make it stand out The back of my band compared to the back of a similar motif on the original band.

Right: I connected the arms of the swastika to form a “kite” pattern.
