A truly handsome and fine example of a blanket made on a narrower loom, with two equal lengths of 24-inch width, "stoated" or butt-seamed together using an overcast stitch down the aligned selvedge lengths, making a blanket 48 inches wide by 80 inches long. The unbleached, white blanket is twill-wove and finished at each end with a set of blue stripes running from selvedge to selvedge, moderately fulled and the cut ends finished with blanket stitching using a logwood-dyed yarn. CONDITION: very good to excellent; very clean, blue color in stripes strong and with no sign of insect browse.
CORRECTION: Photos updated.
