Was the tex written on textile and if so, in what timeframe was this done etc.

A few questions/loose ideas (maybe too farfetched):

Was the tex written on textile and if so, in what timeframe was this done, when and where? Has the tapestry with images anything to do with it (such as this https://www.bayeuxmuseum.com/en/the-bayeux-tapestry/)?

Could the reason of the fires in churches be the destruction of the tex etc. on tapestries (these are flammable and the statues are not)?

This is from OLB 064/page 97 in Ott's translation:

‘Sons and daughters of Frya! As you well know, we have recently suffered much loss and misery since the steersmen no longer come to export our writing felt. You do not know, however, how that came about.

For a long time I have controlled myself, but I cannot bear it any longer. Hear, my
friends, that you may know where to bite. On the other side of the Scheldt, where
ships from almost all seas pass by, they currently make writing felt from waterlily
leaves.

Writing felt is mentioned here, though that might be only for books. The word "WRITEN" is used for what was on the burg walls, while the word "SKRIWA" was used for what was on the paper. It seems funny that is English "writing" is done on paper, and "inscribing" is done on stone. So Ott has to translate WRITEN as "inscribe", and he has to translate SCRIWA as "write". Anyway, the chronology is thought to be around 1630 b.c.

It's possible that there existed such textiles on Frisian house walls. Now they may have also hung on the walls shields with texts in them:

Widows and orphans of war must also be cared for, and the sons may write the names of their
fathers on their shields for the honor of their families. (Source: OL 025-026)

Several Germanic shield finds exists, but to my knowledge the surviving examples do not retain any writing (not sure if metallic shields is implied above). We know that the Germanic peoples made tapestries with similar imaginery to metal finds with texts in them, so it's definitely possible.
