Gray and Blue Wool Bed Scarf (First Place Award)

Awarded First Place at the LXV State Artisan Competition in Uruapan, this handwoven wool bed scarf from Angahuan demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship for which the community is known. Bands of vivid blue and white emerge from a field of naturally heathered gray wool, creating a composition that is both restrained and striking.
