A Length of Handwoven Indigo Dyed Striped Cotton: Hand Spun Yarns

late nineteenth century
75" x 13", 190.5 cm x 33 cm

This beautifully soulful length of indigo dyed cotton is hand woven from hand spun cottons and was dyed in botanical or natural indigo. The humble beauty that radiates from this length is testament to these qualities--and its age only burnishes the beauty that we find in this length of old striped cotton.

The piece is hand stitched from two pieces and the central band of stripes is not aligned at the seam. There is a snip to the right, top corner of the piece of cloth.

The color is rich yet faded and the blue tone is true and softened by time.

There is a small hole, shown, and the overall feel of this length of old, striped cotton is one of delicious, time-aged beauty.
