Woven on soft ecru backgrounds, the fabrics feature elegant stripes in shades of blue and violet, creating a timeless palette that feels both refined and contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese samples were likely produced as professional weaving references for a French textile mill, allowing designers to compare stripe arrangements, weave structures, and color combinations before production. Most are woven from fine wool, with many incorporating lustrous silk threads that add depth and dimension to the finished cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe repeated patterns make this collection especially appealing for makers. Rather than maximizing variety, the Indigo \u0026amp; Violet Edition provides multiple examples of the same beautiful weaves, making it easier to incorporate them into patchwork, visible mending, textile collage, book arts, and small quilts while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Japanese \u003cem\u003eshima-chō\u003c\/em\u003e sample books, these historic weaving references celebrate the artistry of cloth itself and offer endless inspiration for today's textile artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique French weaving mill samples\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoordinated blue and violet woven stripe palette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEcru background fabrics only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum of 18 individual samples\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum of 5 woven patterns with multiple repeats of each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine wool fabrics with many samples incorporating lustrous silk threads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for patchwork, textile collage, visible mending, journals, framing, and slow stitching\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt least 18 antique woven fabric samples representing a minimum of 5 woven stripe patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiber Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimarily fine wool with many samples incorporating silk accent threads (fiber content not guaranteed).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnomalies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the last photo, some have discoloration and a couple pieces have tiny insect holes.
