RM2H5WR4H–Navajo tapestry, wool blanket with geometric design. Sheep farming, wool spinning, and blanket weaving by Navajos date back to the seventeenth century and were learned both through intertribal trade contacts and through the absorption of Pueblo slaves and refugees. According to Navajo legend, Spider Man had shown how to make a loom and Spider Woman had taught the women how to use it. At first, the production of blankets was for local Navajo consumption, but intertribal and interethnic trade expanded in the eighteenth century and blankets became increasingly important as a trade commodity.
