it is most commonly seen in turn-of-the-19th century weaving
Often the warp yarns are separated by a perforated board (wood, gourd or cardboard are common materials) in the process of weaving
All of the dyes are probably aniline in origin although a couple of greenish tones are suspect of possibly being natural
