Woven scales
I have an exhibition Ebba in Kuressaare and as I was posting photos to FB about the items exhibited, I noticed that people started asking about textiles with felted scales: How it is made? So here is a movie Marilyn Piirsalu made years ago. The felt scales are woven in and during washing the sharp edges get rounded.

The textiles with wooden scales are also made with the same weaving technique.
