Description

Doubleweave. Design: large and small blocks form a diamond grid with large blocks at the intersecting point. Repeat: 9.25" x 8.5" A 3 ply cotton yarn is used every tenth thread for half the width of each panel. This means the warp was probably wound with the aid of a warping paddle. A 3-ply cotton is also used for a small section in the waft. Doubleweave, 4 blocks, narrow border on three sides. Undyed cotton and blue wool.
