Item Details and Description
Description: This is a predominantly red to dark orange colored fabric interwoven side-to-side(weft) with many thin blues, off-whites and mustard-yellow colored threads intermixed throughout, rendering an interesting pallet of rusty-orange to dark salmon coloration; when seen up very close ( please see our last 2 close-ups here), the other colors used can be detected; also, there are rows of small (less than 1/2 inch/12.7mm at longest) "+" plus-signs, all symmetrically arranged and spaced in rows and columns ( 2 inches/5.08cm X 2.25 inches / 5.71cm) spacing;
These "plus-signs" are light-colored and have a sheen; To us, the interesting nature of this weave only becomes apparent when viewed from extremely close up, seeming to be almost a micro-plaid weave; This fine weave of different colors when viewed from a distance gives off a color that is hard to label; the fabric is slightly textured to the touch; (Please see close-ups).
Colors: Please use our text color descriptions as different devices show colors and contrast differently.
Condition: EXCELLENT
