The taos ikat blanket

This blanket was inspired by a fabulous weaving displayed at a renowned museum in Taos, New Mexico, that specializes in Native American, Hispanic and international art. Ikat originated in Indonesia and has become a nearly universal weaving style. The technique is common in South and Central America, dating from pre-Columbian times. True ikat uses a resist-dying process similar to tie-dye. Dye is applied before the cloth is woven to create the pattern. Our jacquard loom interpretation of traditional ikat captures the marvelous depth of color and subtlety inherent in this ancient art form. The fabric is woven in our Northwest mills.
