NAVAJO SADDLE BLANKETS

Navajo Saddle blankets are some of the most desirable weavings made by the Navajo. They have been woven for 140 years from hand spun yarn... During the 1890's Navajo Saddle blankets made from Germantown wool became fashionable, and are some of the most intricate eyedazzler's ever executed. They were tightly woven and done in numerous bright colors. Often woven on store bought cotton twine, these did not hold up to the heavy use on a horse and saddle. These are highly collectable especially when in good condition.
