Cotton & Nettle
The surface is composed of tight horizontal bands of alternating navy and ivory chevron-like flecks, interspersed with plain tan stripes running the width of the piece. One edge shows a scalloped, looped selvage in dark navy, while the detail inset reveals the fine herringbone stitch pattern that builds the striped effect. The overall palette is limited to navy, cream, and warm tan, arranged in a steady, repeating rhythm across the field.
Wool & Cotton
The surface is patterned with fine, tightly packed horizontal striations alternating in navy, ivory, and tan, creating a subtle ticking-stripe effect across the whole field. There is no separate border; the striped pattern runs edge to edge, finishing along one side in a corded, scalloped selvage. A circular inset at lower right offers a close-up of the interlaced structure, showing how the dark and light strands cross to form the fine ribbing.
Cotton & Nettle
The surface presents a flat, even diagonal weave in muted tones of tan, oatmeal, and soft brown, with faint horizontal bands where the color shifts slightly darker or lighter. A detail inset in the lower right isolates the crossing threads, revealing the tight, basket-like interlacing that forms the overall herringbone pattern. The edges are left raw and slightly irregular, showing the individual strands at the border.
Cotton & Bleached Hemp
The surface presents an all-over pattern of fine horizontal bands alternating deep navy and undyed ivory, broken by a small dashed motif that runs in tight rows across the field. A scalloped selvage edge is visible along the left side, formed by looped stitching in the pale ivory tone. A detail inset in the lower right shows the close, even structure of the interlacing yarns.
Cotton & Bleached Hemp
The surface presents a tight basketweave grid of alternating dark navy and undyed pale bands, creating a small-scale checkered rhythm across the whole field with no distinct border. A detail inset in the lower corner isolates the weave structure, showing how the crossing strands interlock to form the pattern's stepped, brick-like repeat.
Cotton, Bleached Hemp & Nettle
The field is composed of a plain basket-weave grid, thick tan cords crossing pale bleached strands at even intervals to form a checkerboard of small squares. A faint horizontal band interrupts the pattern partway down, where the tan cords lighten briefly before resuming their original tone. The edges are finished with a scalloped, rounded selvage, and a detail inset at lower right shows the interlacing of the cords at close range.
Cotton, Bleached Hemp & Nettle
The surface presents an open, basket-like grid formed by pale, bleached strands crossing warm tan and honey-toned fibers in a regular checkerboard rhythm. Faint horizontal bands interrupt the pattern where the tone shifts slightly darker, suggesting variation across the length. A magnified detail circle in the lower right isolates the weave structure, showing the crossing threads and small gaps between them, while one selvage edge shows a looped, scalloped finish along its length.
Cotton, Bleached Hemp & Nettle
The surface presents an open, basket-like grid where pale, undyed strands cross a coarser, tan-toned thread, producing a subtle checkered rhythm across the field. No border or figural motif appears; the composition is left entirely to the texture of the weave itself, with a scalloped edge finishing one side. A close-up inset at lower right isolates the interlacing pattern, showing the alternating thickness and twist of the strands in sharper detail.
Tibetan Wool & Goat Hair
The field is left entirely open, an unbroken expanse of pale ivory that shows soft variations of tone across its surface. It is framed by a wide border of concentric stepped lines in a warm taupe-brown, each band offset slightly further from the next to create a nested, terraced effect. At each corner the stepped lines break into small stair-like diagonal notches, echoing the border's rhythm in miniature.
