<p>[QUOTE="JoeCarson, post: 1103419, member: 5981"]Thanks for the responses. It is about 7" x 36". All the thread is incredibly thin to my untrained eye. Using a magnifying glass, everything looks like 1 or 2 ply except the metallic threads which actually are 10+ ply. Some of the thread seems to have the puffy texture and volume of wool. I can't quite tell the difference between linen and cotton thread, but apparently the texture is different under a microscope. No more modern colors like orange or purple stand out to me either. Also, the conservative iconography point is a good one. Church art doesn't always keep pace with the popular styles of the day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
