woven fragment; Karanis; Textiles; Wool

Notes:

Fragment of yellowed woven wool fabric with two rolled hems sewn with red yarn to which a fringe of twisted blue/purple yarn was applied. To make the fringe, which is up to 1 cm long, a 2-ply yarn was sewn from the inside edge of the hem to the outside edge, where a loop was left. The loops were twisted in the opposite direction from the ply to form the fringe strands. There is a remnant of a similar fabric that was sewn to this fragment along one edge.
