RIO GRANDE BLANKET, circa 1890

t3rgb-pToward the end of the nineteenth century, Navajo and Hispanic weavers mastered the art of dying handspun wool with synthetic dyes, just as generations before them had mastered the art of dying with indigo. Available since the 1890s. With intensity of color carrying from one dye lot to the next, weavers utilized this to create depth within each color. A simple striped pattern becomes very entertaining with the vibrant pink, blue, green and purple combination of yarns, as in this serape. - Joshua Baer
