Vikings’ clothes! Viking clothes were made from wool, linen and

animal skins. The Vikings were skilful weavers and made their

own clothes. Women, with the help of children, made the wool into yarn and used natural dyes from plants to give it colour.

Men wore tunics and trousers and women wore a long dress with a pinafore over it. Their clothes were fastened with belts and brooches.
