Curator's Notes
Deyoung has a brindled blue field of with drifting hints of grey, creating a subtle wave-like movement in the weave. Its minimalist central medallion is a simple cantaloupe square, and its tawny bound edge is a subtle, winning detail.
Material DetailsThese pieces are hand-knotted with a soft blend of sheep and lambswool. Unparalleled for centuries, wool has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. It's woven onto wool wefts, adding enviable body and heft.
