Lödöse Diamond Check – (Lödöserutan®)
This is a thin worsted fabric made after a fabulous medieval find from Lödöse, dated to 1220-1240 (Inv nr AI 953). It has crossing stripes of broken twill, that form lozenge/diamond twill (gåsöga) where they meet.
The textile find from Lödöse is of very high quality and was probably imported to Scandinavia. Worsted fabrics with lozenge/diamond patterns is not so common in archaeological finds from medieval times. Similar textile finds has been found in other towns like Uppsala and Stockholm.
