About Navajo Blanket

Navajo weaving is North America's most refined indigenous textile tradition, rooted in the belief that Spider Woman taught the Diné to weave on an upright loom. The resulting stepped-diamond, serrated-zigzag, and banded compositions — dyed with cochineal red, indigo, and yellow lichen on hand-spun churro wool — became one of the world's most collected textile arts.

This design system translates the strict orthogonal geometry, natural wool palette, and hand-dyed pigment character of Navajo blankets into a digital vocabulary that honors the tradition's precision and materiality.
