Swedish Flat Weave

The field is organized in wide alternating bands of slate blue and warm tan, with no border framing the composition. Within the tan bands run narrow rows of small red bracket-shaped motifs alternating with brown square dots, set above thin striped guard lines in brown and cream. The repeat is regular from top to bottom, ending in plain woven selvages on all sides.

Swedish Flat Weave

An open ivory field is crossed by a series of thin horizontal bands in dark green and flecked multicolor, giving the surface a quiet striped rhythm rather than a dense pattern. A wide flat border in mingled green, gold, and taupe tones frames the field on all sides, its texture varied by small threads of red, blue, and rust visible in the close-up detail. The corners meet plainly without cartouches or medallions, and the composition relies on tonal variation within the yarns themselves for its visual interest.

The field is filled edge to edge with a fine, even grid of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, forming a lattice of small squares in pale sage green against a warm ivory ground. A narrow plain band of the same green frames the perimeter, uninterrupted by any border ornament. The surface is uniform throughout, with no central medallion, corner motifs, or inscription visible.

Baby Alpaca Throw / Blanket

80% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk

 

Several folded lengths are stacked to show a repeating small-scale diamond lattice pattern, each fold rendered in a different colorway - slate grey, taupe, teal, charcoal on cream, gold on tan, and cream on cream. The tight, all-over trellis of tiny diamonds reads almost as a woven texture rather than a printed design, catching light differently along each crease. No border, fringe, or inscription is visible, only the folded edges revealing the reverse of the pattern in inverted tones.

Baby Alpaca Scarf

Several draped panels display a small-scale herringbone pattern woven throughout the surface, each length finished with a straight fringe of loose warp ends. The panels are shown side by side in a tonal range from deep brown and charcoal to oatmeal, taupe, and soft apricot, letting the diagonal chevron weave catch light differently across each hue. Selvedge edges run clean and even, with the zigzag pattern aligning consistently from panel to panel.
