The person from the museum gives "late 16th to early 17th century" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kvPxu8XRT4
All of these dates are later than an estimate I saw (I can't remember where) of the 15th century, which seems far too early.
I can't find that any scientific testing has been done as to yarns, dyes, etc.

There was some analysis done on the underlying peat layer but noting on the cloth/yarn itself.
