Description
Woven coverlets have appeared in several guises within the history of folk textiles. Created on four-harness looms, coverlets made in the nineteenth-century American South typically featured coloured wool and cotton threads woven into geometric patterns. Susan Falls and Jessica Smith analyse what we can learn by examining these materials.
