Vintage 60s/70s Loose/Open
Weave Brocade Stripe Fabric for Drapery | Casement | 2.125 yds
Item Description. This fabric came from a Houston area estate. The
previous owner made her own clothes starting in the early 1940’s and continued
to do so until the 1990’s. She also collected fabrics. This fabric is part of that stash.
Condition. No
issues noted,
Color Details.
Medium blule, orange, cream
Content. Linen
or Cotton Blend + Rayon
Textile Type. Large
diameter weft yarns with slubs held in
place by a boucle type yarn of rayon or a cotton/rayon blend. The effect of the weave is quite nice. The weave is quite loose and is semi
sheer. The fabric has a fuzzy, lightly
scratchy, warm hand. Nice warm surface
luster.
Design Comments. The boucle yarns in conjunction with the complex
brocading result in a chaotic, almost deconstructed, stripe running vertically.
Application. This
light to medium weight fabric is perfect for drapery, costume, and
curtains. Might make a nice pillow.
Length. 2.125
yds
Width. 49 in.
Fabric Weight. Medium to heavy
Total Weight. 1
lbs. 5 oz.
A note about color reproduction. Color is
subjective. Any descriptors used to characterize color must to taken
as a suggestion only, and not as definitive. Color reproduction is massively
difficult and color management in most devices is implemented
poorly. Apple devices handle color reasonably
well. Microsoft Windows devices are all over the place; the same
applies to Android devices. Those with Windows PC’s are
strongly encouraged to enable Windows Color Management and install updated
monitor drivers or download the ICC color space specific to the monitor and
then configure Windows Color Management properly. If you are unsure
how to check or configure, I am willing to assist. Unless a
calibrated monitor is used, I recommend resetting the monitor back to factory
standard configurations. For most flat screen monitors, color
settings should be set to 5000K, daylight, or warm and the brightness setting should
be high. For Android devices, the brightness adjustment slider
should be pushed to the right. Any “night” or “bedtime” view
settings which automatically filter much of the color blue on all platforms
should be disabled. Otherwise, your eyes may be deceiving you,
and, most likely, are!
guaranteed to be as described or your money back!
