A Length of Large Scale Plaid Cotton: Seven Patches

late nineteenth, early twentieth century
68" x 13 /14", 173 cm x 33.5 cm

This length of plaid cloth shows a large scale pattern of indigo and white.

The cloth has been used hard and with that the white, undyed areas are a bit tinged from age and wear and there are seven attractive patches that stud the surface of the cloth.

This kind of simple, bold and graphic plaid pattern is a personal favorite and that it is woven by hand from home spun yarns makes it even more attractive.
