I found this Instagram account while I was looking for frilled veils on the net: Sylwia Ciesielska (@silvia.creates.history)
She's a Polish re-enactor and crafter, and she's currently got 1.5 meters of linen kruseler and one full length silk kruseler veil available on her etsy shop. The Instagram posts show some of her weaving of them.
They're not cheap, but they are not even remotely overpriced, considering the time and effort it takes to create them.
I know I've seen them being sold somewhere else too, before, a German weaver I think. I should maybe have stopped and done a little more research before I warped up my linen. But anyway, here we are. Maybe I'll make some actual physical progress on the project before the week is over.
I am also looking at warping mills. Doing calculations and looking at the bits I have and pondering if I can make something a bit smaller to actually fit inside our home. I went and got this one thanks to encouragement, low price and proximity. Yesterday someone put up a table mill which would have been a much more sensible price.
However, it turns out, if you do the math a wingspan of 1.2 m for the two crosses is what you need to only barely get a 3.5 meter circumference. I'm not actually sure what I was thinking would be the size of it. Actually, I di know, I wasn't even thinking about that.
