For his own works Lurcat has shunned the standard "library'' of 14,500 different tones of wool and adopted a more practical 13 colors; he has also restored the old 14th century weave of six threads per centimeter to produce a more vigorous texture than the tenor eleven-thread count of the more recent "corrupt" period...
