A Charming Length of Lightweight Cotton: Soft Blue Dots

mid twentieth century
33" x 12 3/4", 84 cm x 32.5 cm

This charmingly playful length of gauze weight cotton shows staggered rows of softly dyed, pale blue-grey dots, each the size of a coin.

The dots seem to have been dyed by-literally--dropping color directly onto a stack of folded cloth and, probably, using a primitive type of vacuum, drawing the color through the stack of lightweight cotton.

So delightful to see, and in good, used conditions with one faintly, hardly noticeable stain shown on the lead photo here. Difficult to see.
