About The Green Banded Weaving with Serrate Diamond Design

Finely woven, visually these weavings are eye dazzlerish in coloration. I've been hearing that for approximately ten years, dealers in Navajo weavings have been socking Chimayo weavings away for the future.

About Chimayo

Chimayo weaving evolved from a Rio Grande Hispanic weaving tradition identified in the middle 19th century when New Mexico was annexed to the United States by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. A rise in tourism in the Southwest prompted the Hispanic weavers to create a woven product to satisfy tourists and mail-order customers.

A village named Chimayo became the center of weaving activity. Intially new commercial yarns from the eastern United States were supplied by the curio dealers within a cottage industry framework. Some of these products were referred to as "Chimallo Indian Weaving", suggesting an Indian flavor to the design repetoire.

Two excellent books delving into Chimayo weaving are: Chimayo Weaving The Transformation of a Tradition and The Centinela Weavers of Chimayo Unfolding Tradition.
