I'm by no means an expert on telling whether something is handwoven, but there are little signs you could look for - are the selvedges just a little uneven? That could be a clue... Maybe the knotted fringe isn't all exactly alike, so that could be a clue, too. <BR/><BR/>A really well-made handwoven item might be hard to distinguish from a machine-woven item, especially since it looks like this is either tabby weave or a twill... (structures like overshot or others that take two shuttles are more likely to be handwoven, although, again, that's not a guarantee...)<BR/><BR/>It's a beautiful blanket, either way!skiingweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816588515156925458noreply@blogger.com
