Serape Blanket - 82% wool 18% cotton - 1,60m x 2,00m The traditional serape is common to both Spanish and Native American textiles, it actually has its roots in the Mexican weaving tradition. Most commonly, the serape is woven of fine yarns that allow it to be lighter in weight than other blankets, with unbalanced stripes of varying widths providing the characteristic serape pattern. This version stays true to this very classic and historic style, and can serve a multitude of purposes, from a traditional shawl to a decorative throw. BL700 -  $ 175.00
