Are Mexican blankets wool or cotton?

In the early 1800s to 1900s, Mexican blankets, or serapes, were hand-woven using wool. However, since the 1930s, most serapes have been made using a cotton and an acrylic blend of materials. You’ll find a variety of serapes from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

How can I tell if an Indian blanket is real?

You can tell if a Native American blanket is real by looking for lazy lines. These are slight aberrations in the texture when the weaver moved position. You can also look at the ends — if there is double or triple warping with cotton, these are not authentic. Authentic blankets have a continuous warp that runs around, while the knock-offs will be cut and woven back in.
