Vintage Navajo Rug, Late Classic Three Panel Diamond Twill Woven Wearing Blanket, ca 1885 - 1890

This blanket was woven in soft homespun Churro wools entirely in a repetitious diamond twill weaving pattern.

The colour changes gives the mind an eye dazzling and pulsating show. The twill (the fine design) is complex in contrast to the bold rows of diamonds designs. This keeps one's eyes engaged and moving round the blanket.

The red, orange, and yellow are aniline dyes while white, black and brown are natural undyed yarn colours.

This is one of the nicest twill woven blankets you not only will ever see but also touch. The handle is exceptional.
