I read in the paper today that there has been a unique discovery of pieces of medieval garments used as wall filler in an old castle in the Tyrol. Naturally I went online to see if I could find out more about it and find better pictures. Unfortunately, the archaeologists aren't sharing the pictures--probably so they can write some papers about the garments, but
this website gives a really good description and explanation of the finding of the garments.
You can see remnants of needle lace on the edges, and here is a
link showing how that needle lace was made.
(I had to go back and repair links and missing pictures for this post in 2021.)
