This piece is made from thirteen strips (9 cm in width), woven on a double-heddle man's narrow loom. The cloth alternates strips of warp-striped cloth in black with a narrow blue stripe, or fawn with a narrow pale-blue stripe. The weft is balanced in black or fawn, except for a 2 cm section on a black strip where the weft is fawn. The ends are machine hemmed and there are thin white selvedge edges on one outer strip. It was possibly donated to the Danford Collection by Sister Evelyn Bellamy in 1969.
