A Length of Blocky Plaid Cotton: Indigo Dyed Graph

late nineteenth, early twentieth century
62" x 13 1/4", 157.5 cm x 33.5 cm

This is a length of hand woven, hand spun cotton cloth that has been dyed using indigo to create an unusual, grid-like pattern.

The dark and light, vertically-oriented channels alternate and within them is a small, finer plaid design that visually reinforces the bold verticals.

The cloth is in good, used condition and displays the hand woven texture that good quality, old folk textiles show.
