<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9541203, member: 8267&quot;]It is made with commercial yarns. Yarns made by Navajo weavers are single ply. Both the warp and weft of this textile are plied (several yarns twisted together). The Navajo did buy and use &quot;Germantown&quot; machine spun and plied yarn for some of their textiles in the late 19th and early 20th century, but I am not seeing any other features that would be typical of Navajo weaving, such as edge cords. As Pottery noted, the ends are too damaged to see if the warp structure would be correct for a Navajo loom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
