Beautiful three-fold color chart featuring a rich selection of twisted threads, mixing colorful silks and metallic threads, fixed with wax on cardboard with detailed handwritten annotations. The set stands out with a wide variety of references and a higher density than previous models, with more elaborate compositions (two-tone twists, strong contrasts, decorative effect threads). This type of support was used as a presentation tool in workshops or textile businesses, allowing for quick visualization of available combinations and their technical characteristics.
