Not disclosing my considerations about the supplier shipping out their merchandise in such disheveled state, the thick one-millimeter wefts nestled within the thousands of minuscule warp-threads making up this gorgeous brocade are practically predisposed to raffling if not secured before any work is done to it.
Makes one wonder why they still bothered to seal-wrap.
Is it normal for there to be such a difference in weave?
That is bascially the secret behind how they make the leaf-pattern work:
The thick sideways threads are all the same collor, so it’s the warps (lenghtways threads) and their position over or under the weft that determines variations in colortone and creates the embossed effect.
Well it looks real beautiful
