Textile weaving is nearly a 2,000 year old skill that has been passed down each generation to the people inhabiting the Southwest. The oldest woven artifacts have been traced back to the San Juan River drainage where Basket Maker people use domestic and plant materials such as yucca, hemp, milkweed fibers, human and dog hair, spun into a yarn and hand woven into clothing, blankets and sandals. By 900 AD vertical looms were being used to create large fabrics and blankets.
