Shawl
ca. 1870
Description
Most of warp and weft is a thin woolen thread that is "space-dyed" black and white. When woven this mottled thread gives a "salt and pepper" effect woven in a twill. A series of border stripes in warp 3" from each edge. These are white, black, and mottled in varying widths. The same pattern is repeated in weft 3" down from top and up from bottom creating a plaid where it intersects.
