*** About Navajo Blankets: Navajo blankets are deeply rooted in Native American history, primarily woven by the women of the Navajo Nation since the 18th century. Traditionally, these blankets were crafted from hand-spun cotton thread; however, after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, wool became more prevalent. Throughout the 19th century, Navajo weavers shifted from making simple striped blankets to more complex patterns inspired by Mesa’s landscape and spirituality. Each blanket is a story, a legacy expressed through color and design, representing both artistic and economic aspects of Navajo life. Today, these blankets not only serve as cultural symbols but are also highly valued works of art that continue to influence modern design.
