Textile crafts were widely used in during the Anglo-Saxon period, though few have survived to be appreciated today. Textile art was expressed through weaving, using wool and linen to tell stories and record important moments in history.
Notable artefacts include the very famous Bayeux Tapestry, woven from wool.

period and is over 68 metres long and half a metre wide!
