I'm actually thinking more from an historical perspective. I think the eyelets are a relatively recent invention. On a completely separate note, if anyone knows anything about dyes used for cotton in Ethiopia in the 16-1700's I'd appreciate the information. I'm hoping to do a little re-creation weaving if I ever find some spare time (I have to weave a baby blanket first :-). rob schweitzer (aka rufus) Send private reply to "Robert Schweitzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop receiving tabletweaving (not tabletweaving-digest), send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: unsubscribe tabletweaving.
