Slendangs

All cotton fabrics woven in shawl lengths and printed in block styles. They are imitation native styles. The natives of Sumatra dye the grey cloth by a primitive method and insert silk and gold threads. They are used by Malay women as head covers.

Same as Slendangs. ———————— Cotton scarves or shawls made 25-in. to 30-in. wide, 68-in. to 75 -in. long, with fancy headings and fringes at each end. Very similar to sarongs, but narrower. Most of this style of shawl have crammed coloured headings at each end. Common qualities are made with 72 ends and 52 picks per inch, 36's warp, 40's weft, in 25-in. widths. The headings are 3-in. wide, with 120 picks of various colours per inch.
