I wanted to adapt an old summer and winter American coverlet pattern to create a modern heirloom. Traditionally the darker side was displayed face up in the winter saving the lighter side which is tonally reversed to be face up in the summer months when washing could be done with greater regularity. This blanket was woven in a group of five using organic bamboo tencel as the warp and cotton as the weft using a “singles” treadling key. While delicate and not completely immune to snagging, this weave structure is dense and robust. Dry clean or hand wash cold, hang to dry. Measures 55.5”x 59.”
One of a kind.
Note: The other blankets in this series were woven using a silk and alpaca weft while this blanket was woven using cotton. Further more it is both shorter by about 10% and has a treadling error toward one end. The price has been calculated accordingly.
