Terracotta/salmon red secondary colour with light yellow, pink and dark/light blue contrasts, has responded well to the hand washing process (last 3 images) as judged by the luminous colouring of the wool and its overall appearance. All over lustrous even pile. Even selvedge ends and side cords good. Size is 5 foot 6 inches by 3 foot, 168cm x 92cm at widest points. Selvedges not measured in size. Lustrous wool pile hand knotted onto cotton foundations. ABS 215.
