ANTIQUE COVERLETS
Coverlets are one of the earliest forms of American weaving, and dates back to the eighteenth century. Back in the Colonial days, people were busy growing, retting, scutching and spinning their own flax into linen yarns. They were also shearing, carding and spinning their wool into yarn. One would always find a four-harness loom, which was homemade from hand-hewn timbers in each and every home. Blankets and geometric overshot <i> coverlets </i> were typical home products.
