Description
Dates: 1941-1942
Size: 147 x 105 cm; 6 warps(comma) 28 wefts
Description: This is a two-faced double weave made with aniline(comma) natural(comma) and carded dyed wool in shades of red(comma) brown(comma) white(comma) and black. A two-faced textile has a complex pattern on one side and more basic stripes on the reverse. To accomplish this two-sided pattern four(comma) instead of two(comma) heddles are used during weaving. Two heddles are used for the back and two for the front design. Although this example is a rug(comma) double weaves were typically used for creating saddle blankets because they are almost double the thickness of a plain weave.
