Archaeological finds can never give you the full exact picture, just a story of what might have been. We hope to spin that yarn!<br /><br /> If you have any information, articles, books, links, etc you would like to recommend as we develop this blog, please let us know. You can leave a comment here, in the <a href="http://woollyway.aforumfree.com/your-first-forum-f1/">Community Textile Forum</a> or email us at woollyway[AT]email[DOT] com.About Ushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17525338517073853059noreply@blogger.com1
