Small Wool Woven Saddle Blanket
A Living Piece of Southwestern Heritage
This isn't just a blanket—it's a work of art that connects you to centuries of New Mexican weaving tradition. Each Small Wool Saddle Blanket is individually handwoven by Rosie Zamora in Albuquerque, using techniques passed down through generations of Southwestern artisans.
Every thread tells a story. The wool is sourced from livestock raised in the high desert of Northern New Mexico, where the climate produces exceptionally resilient, beautiful fibers. Rosie transforms this local wool into stunning textiles on a traditional loom, investing hours of skilled handwork into every piece.
Authentic Craftsmanship You Can See & Feel
When you run your hands across this blanket, you'll feel the difference that comes from true handweaving. The texture, the weight, the subtle variations in tension—these are the hallmarks of artisan craft that machines simply cannot replicate. Each blanket is truly one-of-a-kind.
