Karanis; Textiles

Notes:

Small fragment of woven wool fabric with plied red warp and red, yellow, yellow/green, blue wool and undyed linen wefts. The blue and red wefts are weft-pile. The green and yellow may be weft-wrapping. The fabric appears to be double faced, with red pile on one side and blue pile on the opposite. The linen wefts are part of the ground weave. Wefts are damaged but appear to encircle the warps along one edge, possibly a plain selvedge. The fabric is very thick along this edge.
