Agave
Agave is a mix of cotton and Egyptian cotton with shades of sage green transitioning to a dark teal with highlights of blue-greens and forest greens along the way. The warp is 24 EPI and will be woven in a 12-shaft advancing twill pattern - the same draft I used for my competition project in the Fall.
