Paisley, Plaid and Purled: Mid-Nineteenth Century Shawls
OMG, I have this exact fabric – about six yards!
Are you sure it is fabric and not a shawl? This is an original shawl from the 1850s. Although, 6 yards would be extreamly long for a shawl.

It looks like the same fabric, except in lilac/purples. It’s 100% wool, 60″ wide. I bought it at a designer fabric outlet store.
I bought it to make a skirt and loose top or jacket. My idea was to follow the design and use it as the hems. I got extra just for that purpose.
No kidding. How great is that! Is there any chance you have the maker info? I would love to track it down.
The owner of the store bought manufacturers’ remnants to sell. I purchased it about seven years ago. I believe it was a Liz Claiborne piece, or it might have been Anne Klein.. I know it wasn’t Jones of NY or Dana Buchman.
When I find it I’ll send you a pic!
That will be great. Thank you!!
