Conservator's Description: Textile consists of small wool fragments. Possibly a blanket. Some fragments are loosely stitched together. Judging from the patterns and weave types, at least three different cloths are represented. Some fragments have a stripe or twill pattern. They were probably stitched together to repair the blanket. Another small fragment included in the group is a bit of dark wool which has been knitted.

Actual Treatment: Fragments were too fragile to vacuum, but debris was removed using tweezers. They were humidified for approximately one hour, the yarns aligned in place, weighted and allowed to dry in a flattened position. The eight larger fragments with the same weave were attached with crepelene thread to an acid-free muslin covered board. Twelve smaller fragments, representing three additional weaves were placed, but not attached, onto a muslin covered board. The twill fragments and the knitted fragments were placed in a small box. All were covered with unbuffered, acid-free tissue.
