Coverage

The cover is depicted on the right on the subject photo 2. The cover on the left is UM016022, the cover in the middle is UM016034. Cover woven in a piece without a middle stitch. Warp and bottom of unbleached cotton yarn. Patterns of two-wire wool yarn. The pattern consists of narrow rhomboidal stretches along the edges and within them alternately narrow and wide longitudinal stripes patterned with rhombus. The colours of the weft, on the other hand, form stripes on the cross; wide light bluetonate green stripes alternating with equally wide stripes constructed of narrower stripes in yellow-red (orange)/black/red or bright red/black light red blue (violet). According to literature, this rhombus patterned type of retrieval occurs only in Bohusländer. The yarn dyed with synthetic dyes. The woman Matilda Nilsdotter was born in 1860 at Stripplekärr (Sandvadet).. She had learned the weaving art from her mother, Johanna-Maria, born in ÖdsHon. Matilda was a professional weaver in Hisingen from the late 1870s to 1900. She woven canvases, bedspreads, sheets, fabrics for skirts and costumes etc. She was 2-3 months in broadcasting in different farms, mainly in Tuve but also in Backa parish. (Name of the places where she weaved: Tangen, Tuve, Skändla, Skogome, Kärralund.) In 1900, she returned to Ödspå and married Alfred Andreasson. Matilda and Alfred were parents of the donor Birger Andreas- son born in 1902 in Bmåe in Ödsmåe. (See Samuel Lydén’s writing about Ödsmåst, in which he writes about weaving in the 17th century.)
