Navajo textiles
Navajo textiles are traditional woven fabrics created by the Navajo Nation, a Native American tribe in the southwestern United States. These textiles are known for their intricate patterns and vibrant colors, often featuring geometric designs that hold cultural significance. The weaving process typically uses wool from Churro sheep, which is spun and dyed using natural materials.
Historically, Navajo textiles served practical purposes, such as clothing and blankets, but they have also become valuable art pieces. The craftsmanship involved in creating these textiles reflects the rich heritage and artistic traditions of the Navajo people, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
