<p>[QUOTE="Not Sure What This Is, post: 4311708, member: 19814"]Hi,</p><p>Thank you very much for the information! Although the pictures may represent the warp as black, it's actually a very dark burgundy colour. I'm a little confused, because that roping around the edge is definitely old - I've been handling vintage clothing for about 45 years and can recognize old materials when I see them. I don't think that the piece is new, but I can understand that maybe it's not Mexican. I do have a question though - why is the warp always white? Could they not weave using a pre-dyed wool?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
