Based on what I can dig up, the dominant fabric materials of the late Viking era through the Early Medieval period were woolen weaves and possibly linen. My questions is: what weight and weave would be worn on what part of the body? I am familiar with some hand knits and naalbinding for socks and hats and maybe shirts, but what patterns and weights would most central or western european kotes/tunics or hose be woven out of? Was linen just for undergarments?
I think you should ask an expert (?) on medieval clothing here in this forum.
Maybe he can answer your questions.

Shahril -
This is the precise reason why he has posted the question on the forum. He's asking our community for help. There is no reason to point out the obvious to him.

I'd look here although its bit later. It doesn't change much

then maybe the icelandic bog burials, although cant recall what linen is there. Skjoldehamn kirtle (1000-1210), Kragelund man's kirtle (1045-1155)

I don't know enough to confirm the accuracy but it looks good

Gregory Liebau has previously shared this link on Armour Archive. If you want really detailed information, it's a good example of the sort of academic research into textiles which is available.
