Colours
Medium brown yarn in system 1.
Other features
System 1 seems to be mostly cotton, but there are fine warp threads occasionally that look like wool. Cotton is medium brown, wool paler. Probably best, in view of difficulties of identification to assume that it has a regular cotton warp and wool weft.
