<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 315981, member: 45&quot;]It&#039;s a little difficult to tell from the photos, but it looks almost like some of that &quot;very soft&quot; yarn might be a type of chenille.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t have the look of typical wool yarn used in rugs.&nbsp; It also looks like there may be several different types of yarn used, which would partly account for the uneven weaving and edges.</p><p><br /></p><p>If so, I&#039;d say it&#039;s likely that this was made by a crafts weaver, probably circa 1970s, when crafts were at their height of popularity in the U.S.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t appear to be something made just for sale, as one would expect from a Mexican rug, which would have better craftsmanship.&nbsp; It might have been made in a weaving class.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, it might be a Mexican rug, that some previous owner put it in the washer and dryer, resulting in the odd texture and shape it&#039;s in.&nbsp; All I can definitely say, is it isn&#039;t Native American.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
