The warp for Escapade is approximately 60% Egyptian cotton/40% cotton. It is a lively mix of sun-ripened colors that transition smoothly from light orange and coral through pinks and raspberries to burgundy, eggplant and navy - then folds into dark greens, bright turquoises and light greens. Complementary and contrasting colors are mixed into each section for a highly pinstriped, very colorful warp.

The sett is approximately 24 EPI. It is threaded with an 8-shaft crackle draft and treadled "tromp as writ" - which means the sequence of treadling matches that of threading. This treadling produces a large-scale, complex pattern that is intriguing and delicately lacey with a pleasingly nubby texture.

The weft for this piece is hand-dyed 70% silk/30% sea cell. It weighs approximately 295 grams/m^2.

Special care should be taken in washing the wrap to preserve the color of the sea silk weft, which has been acid-dyed. To avoid loss of color, please wash in cold with just a touch of gentle detergent. Roll in a towel and hang to dry.
