Please join Whyt Whey with Þorfinnr as we take a look inside Norse society!

The idea of the Viking warrior is a strong cultural idiom.  But how did Norse society look from the inside? What about women? What do we know about the expected gender roles and how they were enforced?

Learn how to make this deceptively simple garment with a little math, some gusto, and creativity.
