- Skjoldehamn, Norway (~1075): The decorative square and collar on the shirt were of striped 2/1 twill. The base colour is red with narrow strips of green and yellow next to each other. [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. [PRITCHARD 1984: p. 57]
- Hedeby-Settlement: Fragment S 27A is a 2/2 diamond twill which has two darker warp threads (ca. 1mm) after every ten light warp threads (ca 10mm). All the weft threads are dark. Under magnification the light threads are a reddish-yellow-brown, the darker threads are a reddish-brownblack, indicating a fabric woven from natural lighter and darker threads which was dyed red. [HAGG 1991: p. 80]
- Birka, Sweden: A woollen tabby weave fragment was found in Grave 1090 with 5mm wide stripes in alternating blue and redish-brown coloured threads. [GEIJER 1938: p.36]

Archaeology
- Hedeby - Graves: Three graves (159/1960, 182-185, 27/1963) contained fragments of very fine blue linen with, in two cases red threads, in one case white threads creating small checks. 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. [HAGG 1991: p. 212]
- Multiple fragments of the same cloth in four layers was found in grave VI/1930. This cloth is a fine woollen chevron twill with a checker pattern formed by two light, probably linen, threads in the warp and weft. [HAGG 1991: p.241]
- Birka, Sweden: 1 example of a linen tabby fragment was found in Grave 757 where both in the warp and the weft a white then red thread followed every 5-6 blue threads.The cloth had about 20 threads per cm, so the checks were quite small. [GEIJER 1938: p.15]
- Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): One example (E-76) of a plain 2/2 twill had black stripes of different widths in warp and weft giving it a "scottish" look. The other threads were brown. [HUNDT 1981:p.15]
