A column from the Minnesota Weaver in which Lotus Stack, associate curator of textiles at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, begins a series on the museum's tapestry collection. It discusses the Brussels tapestry 'The Month of September' (c. 1525-1528), from a twelve-month series attributed to Van Orley, covering its iconography, its Gothic and Renaissance influences, and related editions in other museums. It also gives technical details of the weave: wool with silk highlights, 19 warp ends per inch, about 80 wefts per inch, and shading by hatching and combining yarns in one shed.
