Vintage (1920s) Twill Weave Blanket - Embroidered "S".
Diagonal ribbing indicates a sturdy twill construction, which is the standard weave format for vintage military, camp, and utility blankets because it provides superior durability and density compared to a simple plain weave. Texture shows a tight, mottled blend of gray and cream wool fibers with characteristic pilling, typical of heavy-duty homespun wool that has been broken in over decades of use.
"S" embroidered on left corner. Top and bottom edges show fraying. Small staining throughout. No rips or tears. Found in as-is condition in Pennsylvania. Seamless. "S" is hand-embroidered using a thick, textured French knot style. Vintage homespun or utility family blanket that was personalized by its maker. Letter is created with a vibrant pinkish-red yarn, looping heavily over the surface of the wool.
Measurements : 86" x 56"
