So, of troy, did you take a look at the piccie Bill provided? what do you think? knitted? crocheted? (though you say knitting is the older art by far) or simply stylized, very curly, hair?

or anyone else have a take on this?

(not sure I do want to move it into "words from German"! - but perhaps we could have a separate knitting thread?)

Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.
