"I find this item interesting because it shows that type of material that was being made by my ancestors. The fact that it apparently uses very small lots of yarn shows that they were very frugal. No small lot of yarn could be wasted. I also find that the fairly bright colors used are very interesting. Not what I would expect from a people who are thought to be very plain and drab. The Blossers were raising and producing their own linen. I know this from the fact that in the attic of the old stone house were a hank of linen fiber, a linen break or comb, and a linen spinning wheel." - Norman Blosser CoffmanCataloged By
