Depending on the stripes, maybe Turkish? (The British museum website is acting up, but like the stripes on this image from Gentile Bellini.)
The problem with stripes and Viking Age linen stuff is that there really isn't that much evidence for it. There are linen checked fabrics (think Tattersall's plaid with the really narrow contrasting stripes), but uni-directional stripes seem to be rare. Hilde Thunem has a bit about some of the linen plaids and some patterned linen, but, as Hilde notes they seem to be associated with the underdress layer, not the apron dress.
(There are other striped fabrics from the 9-10th c., but they're woollen. For London, see this PDF, pages 7, 10-12. For Dublin, which was red and black stripes, see: Frances Pritchard: "Aspects of the Wool Textiles from Viking Age Dublin" NESAT 4 And Thor Ewing in Viking Clothing says that 'Veka twill' was woven in Norway with a blue and white diagonally striped effect. But then vadmal-type fabrics apparently also have that characteristic diagonal stripe, too. Which I don't think is what you were describing?)
Sorry, that got rambly. What sort of weave is the linen, and what sort of stripe? Then you can see what people in whichever times or places were weaving and wearing it.
