White Cotton with Silk design elements in blue.

 

This newly hand-woven 'Palm Leaf' is composed of Ash Wool in the Field in cut pile construction, Nettle Plant Fiber in the Design Lines and Border in loop construction. Available in Custom Sizes and Colors. 

An open ivory field left plain, crossed by a loose lattice of thin brown diagonal lines that intersect to form irregular elongated diamonds. The lines are unevenly drawn, some breaking or shifting slightly at their crossings, giving the pattern a hand-drawn irregularity rather than strict symmetry. There is no separate border, the field running to the edges with long warp fringe left bare at both ends.
