[LOVLID 2009: p. 97]* London, Milk Street and Watling Court (late C9th - early C12th): Three of the nine tabby woven fragments had weft stripes of paired threads. In one case the stripes may well have been dyed with madder to accentuate the pattern. [PRITCHARD 1984: p. 52]* London, Milk Street and Watling Court (late C9th - late C10th): A 2/2 twill was found which had a thicker thread in every third weft, which was dyed red with madder the other weft threads were dyed blue (woad), creating a textile which would have been blue with red stripes.

The blue/ red cloth from grave 159/1960 was from a shirt, as was probably the blue/white cloth in grave 27/1963. The blue/red cloth in grave 182-185 was from a decorative band.
