The Development of the Navajo Rug and Blanket

Development of the Navajo tribe carpet and blanket The Navajo tribe carpet and weaving have evolved. Early weaving is influenced by the legend and represents a meaningful event of living. Modern weaving is the details of the design and demand of the Navajo carpet. By observing specific historical events from 1700 to 1900, readers can see how this evolution evolves. Throughout history, carpets have maintained artistic value, but their creative intentions are totally different.

A couple of summers I spent an hour on a substitute painter focusing on the Navajo carpet. In fact, it is more specialized. An interesting character collector named Jamiros like to collect Navajo carpets designed with English words, letters and word weave designs. In addition, it compared with climbing mountain top. If you climb the mountain there will definitely be no mistakes. But you go. When you travel here or go wrong way, you will not stop and do it again. You will move. You can not delete this step. That happened, this is a part of climbing. When climbing is completed, you are done. As long as you reach the peak, you will not climb the mistake. Likewise, Navajo did not point to some carpets on stolen things as a mistake. Once the carpet is completed, it is a successful carpet. More importantly, carpets with some stitches are honest carpets.

Today, Navajo felt is very expensive, but it is not very beneficial because it requires a lot of time to wash, dye and prepare the wool for the fabric. It costs $ 1,200 for a blanket, 3 to 5 feet for a blanket, 15 hours to wash with wool shearing, 368 hours to make wool with raw wool, 19 hours to make a thread, 158 to weave a carpet It takes time. The total working hours is 560 hours
