Mountain Top - Handmade Wool Weaving

This type of handwoven wool blanket is commonly used as a wall hanging, or draped over the back of a couch. This piece has natural dyed blue as a background color and turquoise, black and natural indigos, oranges, reds, greens, yellows and tan included in its design. It uses mixed dyes, which means that at least some of these yarns are from natural dyes, and some of these yarns were hand dyed or commercially dyed. It was woven by Irvin Trujillo who is a seventh-generation weaver, 2007 NEA National Heritage Fellow, and recurring Spanish Market top award winner. It measures approximately 36 by 48 inches.
