Doublecloth Coverlet

Doublecloth coverlets required a high level of skill to weave and were reserved for the most important occasions in homes during the 1800s. This example came from a family near Grimsby, Ontario, and may have been made by an unidentified weaver active in Lincoln County between 1800 and 1820.
