<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4311703, member: 8267"]I believe you have an inexpensive modern copy of a Saltillo, rather than a genuine Mexican textile. Saltillos are woven on a white cotton warp, which is largely covered by the tightly packed wool weft (known as a "weft-faced" fabric). Yours has a black warp, which is very visible. Compare with this closeup of a genuine Saltillo:</p><p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0361/5385/files/IMG_4657_large.JPG?v=1474656773" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://zinniafolkarts.com/blogs/news/mexican-textiles-101-the-saltillo-blanket-or-serape" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://zinniafolkarts.com/blogs/news/mexican-textiles-101-the-saltillo-blanket-or-serape" rel="nofollow">https://zinniafolkarts.com/blogs/news/mexican-textiles-101-the-saltillo-blanket-or-serape</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
