The definition changed to include different styles, fabrics, and colors such that today the term counterpane no longer resembles the bedcover as it was known in the 1800s. Even restricting counterpanes to a white bedcover, counterpanes include knitted, crocheted, knotted, tufted, embroidered, quilted\/stuffed and handwoven aspects. Further subdividing handwoven white bedcovers there are weft loop types such as boutine\u00e9, candlewicking, and what are known as Southern Handwoven Counterpanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">One wonders why counterpanes were handwoven in a time when power looms were used for textile production not only in New England but also in Alabama. Another curiosity is why they were all white when indigo and natural dye materials were well known and used in coverlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Instructor:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/pat-donald\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"20684\">Pat Donald<\/a><br><strong>When:<\/strong> Saturday PM<br><strong>Level: <\/strong>All<br><strong>Categories:<\/strong> Weaving, Historical Textiles and Traditions\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Supplies that students will bring: <\/strong>Note taking materials<br><strong>Material Fee:<\/strong> $0<br><strong>Materials Included:<\/strong> None<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term counterpane for a bedcover was known as early as the 1600s &#8211; originally referring to a quilted bedcover.
