woven wonder

This arrived yesterday.

Another eBay bargain!

One of the principal quirks of buying vintage fabric from eBay is that you are often not exactly sure what you are going to get.

Colours fade or brighten, stains and marks emerge and measurements may shift in between ogling something lovely on screen and holding it in your eager hands.

With this lovely, the surprise was a nice one.

It is pristine. Brand new and unused.

And instead of the smooth cotton I was expecting, this superbly seventies throw has a lovely weave and a nubbly, almost woolly texture.

Just perfect for a few cushions.

They would look brilliant on a white sofa, or strewn across crisp white cotton bedding.

If you would like any, do let me know!
