TABLET BANDS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meshed tablet bands were made with the aid of small tablets perforated at the corners. This technique probably came to Finland along with settlers from present-day Estonia. Finland\u2019s oldest tablet bands date back to the 6th<\/sup> century.The yarn was dyed with natural materials. The leaves of plants provided yellows and greens, bark gave brown dye, woad was for blue, and red dyes were obtained from bedstraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MITTEN NEEDLE TECHNIQUE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The so-called mitten needle, an approximately 10 cm long flat needle of bone or antler was used for knitting socks and mittens, especially for men. At a later stage mittens of pig bristle or goat hair were made. They would remain dry in winter when fishing nets were hauled from under the ice. The mitten needle technique was already known in Egypt and elsewhere in the 6th century BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLOCKWORK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Houses were built in blockwork, or corner-joining, technique. The carving of the wall logs required a good working axe and two-pointed tool used to mark the lengthwise joint of the logs by drawing parallel lines on two logs placed on top of each other. This marking tool was probably adopted in Finland along with the corner-joining technique, from Eastern Europe in the 9th-11th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
