I wove those pieces on a 4 shaft folding cherry Purrington loom from the 1950s. A blacksmith forged the hardware that holds the cherry pieces together! I inherited it from my Grandmother Ruth who was a weaver. The warp fibers are all cotton from American Made sustainable cotton, and the weft fibers are the same cotton as well as wool from a friend in Pennsylvania. All dyes used were grown and processed here in Cold Spring.
