Description:

Sample of hand woven cotton in which the warps are much thinner and more tightly twisted than the loosely-twisted, slubby wefts. The wefts are grouped in combinations which vary across the width of the fabric, giving a meandering, rather than strictly grid-like, appearance. Brown and slate blue warps; slate blue and purple wefts.
