Katrin Kania has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). H.J. Hopkins, who nominated her, says:
Katrin has recently completed her PhD in the methods of construction of European Medieval garments but I know her as one of the two organiser of textilforum, a European workshop of historic textiles and experimental archaeology. The workshop was set up so that she could stage an experiment investigating the influence of a spindle whorl, in particular its MI (Moment of Inertia), the influence of the fibre and the influence of the spinner in the outcome of spinning. The experiment has now concluded, the data has now been processed and she is in the process of writing up.
