Title A name given to the resource 63_34_183.jpg Description An account of the resource Dates: 1880-1890 Size: 141.5 x 87 cm; twill weave Description: This twill weave was made of natural and aniline colored wool to create alternating red and white stripes with indigo blue(comma) orange(comma) and yellow squares. Twill is common form of the double weave(comma) which uses four heddles instead of the regular two used in plain weaves. The four heddles are manipulated to produce a diagonal or diamond raised weave. Although there are archaeological examples of the technique(comma) it did not become common until the 1880's. Double weaves were typically used for creating saddle blankets because they are almost double the thickness of a plain weave.

Hubbell was one of two major traders integral in promoting Navajo weaving in the Euro-American market. Initial designs made at the Post incorporated traditional Navajo weaving designs(comma) while in the early 20th century styles began to incorporate popular Near East motifs. The Hubbell Revival (or Old Ganado) style of rug is characterized by stepped diamonds and embellished triangles.

During the late 19th century Navajo weaving went through a period of transition where the market changed from creating wearing blankets to weaving rugs for Anglo-Americans. This new trade was funneled through trading posts where synthetic dyes and machine produced wool and yarn were made readily available. Rugs from this transitional period (1868 to 1900) are characterized as more coarsely woven with very bright colors. Navajo Rugs Unknown Wearing Blanket
