Description

The Moki Blanket offers a unique narrow striped styling that generally alternates between dark blue and black or brown rhythmic banding. One of the most historic Native American weavings, they’ve been in use since the early 1700s. Easily one of the most well-known styles due to their value to early settlers, Moki weavings began as blankets around Coronado’s expedition in 1540. Originally designed by Spanish weavers and adopted by the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi. The Moki became as valuable as food, due to their durability and ability to keep you warm on those frigid winter nights. Moki weavings have been in demand in and outside of New Mexico for more than 200 years, first within the traditional Hispanic and Pueblo culture and then the Navajo as time progressed.
