Totem Design House -Wool Blanket- Cloud Blanket Limited Edition

WOOL BLANKET DIMENSIONS: 180CM X 150CM WITH ULTRA SUEDE BORDER

With knowledge passed on for countless generations, an unnamed ancient northern coastal ancestor took her knowledge of weaving with spruce root and cedar bark to develop a beautiful new weaving tradition. Using a horizontal loom strung with warps of mountain goat wool, she proceeded to weave in with wefts of black, white and yellow to create decorative patterns derived from basketry. Topped with a strip of sea otter fur for the neck band and fringe along the other edges, these fine blankets were painstakingly woven for nobility. 

We have come to know this tradition as “Ravenstail”—from the Tlingit Yéil koowú—or “Northern Geometric” weaving. Amongst the Haida, these robes often feature prominently in myths as magical garments. There these robes carry the name Ḵwiighaalgyaat or “Cloud Blanket”.
