Levant is woven in a pretty, decorative slubbed thread that throws irregular little loops across the surface, the whole carrying a delicate iridescent sheen. It is a fabric of incidents rather than motifs: the loops catch the light unevenly, the slubs interrupt the weave agreeably, and the sheen shifts as the day moves. Cloths like this furnish a room at the level of texture, quietly, thoroughly, and without a pattern in sight.
