Description An account of the resource These hand woven lunch napkins were produced between 1925 and 1942 by an unidentified weaver for sale through the Spinning Wheel shop in Asheville, N.C. The items are decorated with rural African American figures using a laid in technique called "picture-weave." The design was placed behind the warp, while colored threads were laid-in as the weaving progressed. The figures were extracted from larger picture of a farm scene. Luncheon napkins sold for about $1.00 and were popular with tourists. In 1925, Clementine Douglas opened the Spinning Wheel, a weaving studio and retail shop selling a range of local crafts. Douglas taught the weavers and served as lead designer.
