Chenille Pattern Type
All
of our patterns start with three somewhat dark base
colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten
and brighten the other three. This fourth color is
usually White, but we sometimes also use Tan, Yellow
or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished
product is called a "cane" and can be compared
to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the
pattern is visible in any cross-section.
The CHENILLE cane features each base color belnding into the others with subtle streaks of the lighter color throughout. The resulting block is reduced and recombined to make a complex square cane that reminds us of a chenille sweater.
This construction of this cane starts out much the same as this one that was demonstrated by Donna Kato on the Carol Duvall Show. The difference is in the way the ikat-like slabs are assembled at the end.
