Depicting scenes from the famous French victory over the English, this 10%-sized wool reproduction of the Bayeux tapestry is a beautiful accessory for a cold winters morning.

//famous French victory over the English// Famous only for its uniqueness.
[Goes off to imagine a scarf 7metres long, but only 5cm wide...] |
|
| |
Come to think about this, I certainly wouldn't wear this.Give me a scarf depicting the battle of Waterloo that I may wear. |
|
| |
Recreate the whole thing in cartoon format with several rows of panels, and you can fit it onto a scarf 2m long by, say, 20cm wide? Surpised Past Times haven't rushed this out to their shops already. |

A-one, two, three-o'clock, four-o'clock, rock... |
|
| |
ties n scarves are quite different. Nice link though [murdoch] |
|
| |
[copro] 5cm wide means you can wrap it round lots and lots of times to use up the full 7m length. Any wider and it just wouldn't work so well. |
|
| |
But shouldn't it be a tapestry, not wool, or at least cross-stitch or something? |
|
| |
... and created by nimble-fingered french
women too. |
|
| |
Five, six, seven-o'clock, eight-o'clock rock... |
|
| |
gawd, the suspense is killing me... |
|
| |
[Ian], we're all ready and waiting ... |
|
| |
Put your glad-rags on? Or is it the reference to Halley's Comet on the Tapestry? |
|
| |
//hey Copro! that's smart// My new jacket? Thank you - glad you like it. |
|
| |
Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standin’ to my daddy’s knee,
My poppa said, son, don’t let the man get you
Do what he done to me...
|
|
| |
This scarf would go well with my Damien Hurst "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" shark shaped shoes... |
|
| |
coprocephalous, - spot on - Halley's comet. I've actually seen the real tapestry, hanging up in Northern France, a few years ago on a blisteringly cold and pelting windy grey day. |
|
| |
[IT] ditto (except it was a rather lovely autumn day) - easily one of the best historical attractions in France. The rest of the exhibition (IMHO) really sets the scene and tells the story, and then to *see* something that is the best part of a millennium old is pretty mind-blowing. |

It'd make nice wallpaper. |

It'd make expensive wallpaper. |

Tragically, I don't think it would sell well here in America. My suggestion would be to change it to '1980 Winter Olymipc Hockey' scarf for sales in the USA. |
|

Actually, I was thinking those Indian story cloths (quite forgotten what they're properly called). |
