Martha Washington’s Choice Wovens
ByMartha Washington’s Choice wovens are fine examples of the quality USA woven chenille type bedspreads still very popular in America and made in America. Candlewick bedspreads, throws and coverlets such as John Adams, Martha Washington’s Choice and American Tradition can be referred to as “chenille”, “candlewick” or “terry loop” style.
Terry loop is an elegant vintage style having a needlework effect that produces a 3-D effect through patterns of French knots, or uncut loops forming a fabric pile. Martha Washington’s Choice bedspread is an example of terry-loop (also known as hobnail, chenille or candlewick) construction. American Tradition is a lighter weight design and more popular in warmer climates.
Popular for blankets and other bedding, these luxurious candlewicks are produced by Maine Heritage Weavers, Inc., of Lewiston, Maine. Their website is www.mhweavers.com. The Bates Mill Store, www.batesmillstore.com has been carrying USA made terry chenille bedspreads for over 50 years.
Bedspreads are machine washable and very durable and will last for many years. Free fabric swatches are available! Custom sizes are also offered for a small additional charge.
