There are rather few archeological finds of tablet woven bands in Lithuania as local soil does not preserve textiles well. This is based on one of those rare finds - a fragment from Bikavėnai (Šilutė region). 

This band is made of pure Norwegian wool. I dyed all the yarn myself with yarrow I collected in my yard. The darkest green on borders is locally produced, cruelty free villsau wool, which is an ancient breed.
