Quill Loom3109/2

To the hide is sewn several cotton threads. Near their opposite ends, the threads pierce a thin rectangle of cardboard that keeps them separated; they are then tied to the other end of the wood. Woven into the threads are porcupine quills dyed multiple colours, creating cream-coloured diamonds on a background of alternating areas of light green, dark pink, and yellow. Borders of white and yellow line each side of the weaving. The quills have not been trimmed.
