| Amazing modernist graphic design is actually made from the woolens used for undershirts, petticoats. long johns underwear! From the Amish community around New Holland, Pennsylvania. Pieced like a crazy quilt with random rectangular slivers; arranged like a Roman Stripe with diagonal strips all in same direction to provide a visual rhythm. I have owned one or two others of this material, dated in the first decade of the 1900s and from this community. The wool is boiled like loden cloth to increase its density and warmth.
