I'll be watching your blog for it!!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-19835848276721570012009-06-11T08:16:45.078-04:002009-06-11T08:16:45.078-04:00This is a very interesting cloth, I like the patte...This is a very interesting cloth, I like the pattern. I also have a blanket from Mali, a gift from my aunt in the early eighties. It is also woven in narrow stripes, and has a weft faced pattern, which has been picked in. The warp and the bottom-weft is white cotton, the weft used for pattern is a kind of stiff black or brown wool, probably goat. Perhaps I take a picture of it one day and put it on my blog.charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536773648371607808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-46638360966413473562009-06-11T06:39:23.482-04:002009-06-11T06:39:23.482-04:00This type of fabric is definitely on my to-do list...This type of fabric is definitely on my to-do list.

I think my friend's father purchased this blanket in 1979....and at that point he probably had a choice.<br /><br />I'm amazed at how complicated and interesting this combination of colors and stripes can look!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-90142084118765945792009-06-10T08:53:27.139-04:002009-06-10T08:53:27.139-04:00How facinating to make the piece from woven strips...How facinating to make the piece from woven strips.

It's the first I understood and appreciated what great weavers these indigenous peoples have. I will never have their level of weaving comfort and yet they go unrecognized.
