A subtle and satisfying combination of colors and materials makes this blanket a pleasure to behold. Woven in a series of striped zones, more in the manner of a Navajo utility blanket, its beauty is in its fineness, reflecting the delicate use of early bayeta. The fine bayeta, both in colors of red and yellow, is woven in simple zones along with lines of indigo blue. Its careful design reflects a sophisticated simplicity. The white, sometimes carded with a brown to make a grey, is evocative of cashmere. The blanket measures 49” x 31” with lac-dyed bayeta, cochineal-dyed bayeta and saxony, vegetal-dyed yellow bayeta, indigo blue, and handspun white sometimes carded with natural brown.
