It looks cozy, but this tiny textile is hardly big enough to cover the couch.

Sheila Hicks’ “Kilometer 177 ½” is one of hundreds of mini tapestries she’s been weaving over more than 50 years. This one from our @cooperhewitt is less than 11 by 9 inches in size.

Hicks was among the pioneering artists whose work launched the fiber art movement in the mid-20th century. While she’s done some large projects, she’s experimented with structure and unconventional materials in her small works. This one includes strips of leather along with wool, cotton, silk and linen yarns.

The title "Kilometer 177 ½" refers to the distance between Mexico City and the ranch where Hicks lived in the 1950s.
