Description: Community project aiming to preserve the ancient art of Mayan wool spinning and weaving. History of wool in Central America. On-line exhibition of Mayan blankets and textiles. On-line purchasing of historical reproductions of Mayan blankets.
A very light milky color of yarn woven into a traditional Maya matrimonial blanket for a three-quarter bed size. This ceremonial wedding blanket is combed for softness and sometimes made as a gift for a bride at the time of a marriage. Popular enough in other situations, they usually show up at market day. Wool warp, fine, light in weight, if not weightless. Threads are thin, whiter wool thread batches available from local sheep. As there is no such thing in nature as a pure white, the result is an interesting range of yarn batches that can be discerned when you look closely into the weaving.
