Title	Huswif
Creator	Levi Hasbrouck family
Date.Original	Mid 19th c.
Description	Hand-made cylinder shaped roll-up made of wool, silk and velvet with an ombré stripe and pincushion ends. Pincushion ends are blue velvet. The trim in the interior is 1.5" wide and 10" long. Exterior of trim is a brown wool with a white and light blue floral design. The interior trim is lined with a ombré stripe wool fabric, which is embroidered every 2" in alternating blue and brown thread. There are four small brown embroidered loops at one end.
Notes	Huswif (""house wife"") or roll-up was the name given to an oblong shaped sewing case made out of scraps of fabric that could be rolled up and put into a pocket. It typically had smaller inside pockets and tabs for needles. Ombré refers to a kind of gradation of color - usually seen in a stripe - that was popular for women's dress fabrics in the mid 19th century. This huswif uses a scrap of wool fabric left over from a dressing gown that is now at Locust Lawn.
