Message:: [QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9635985, member: 76316"]This is roughly 6 1/2 feet long, 7 1/2 inches wide. Pics 2, 8 & 9 are the truest colors. Pics 1 & 2 are opposite sides of the same end, an' I think pic 2 is the 'front' side. The other 3 patterns show the same weave on either side, unlike that end. I determined it's cotton by clipping a couple short pieces of the raveling end (the woof)... an' burning 'em under my nose. Not wool, nor silk or synthetic.I know very little about textiles, so my notice of the lack of a selvedge lends weight to my belief that this is not machine-made, but comes from hand-looming. The 3 patterns...similar, but individually unique... along with the difference in technique used to create the end-panel, as well as the lack of end-to-end symmetry, say to me that this was a students effort, a learning piece of loom-work. Another small anomaly is that single dark warp stripe on the right half of all the pics except 2 & 8...visible only on the 'back' side of the fabric.I've probably missed other significant markers that will allow y'all to know what you're looking at...I sincerely hope so.As always, Thanks for lookin'!
