wool/cotton.
The warp is all
cotton for strength and the weft
is all wool. The weft covers the
warp so all you feel is wool. Napped
has the fiber of the wool pulled to
give it a fuzzy look like a regular
wool blanket whereas Unnapped
is a more pressed and smoother finish. |

In the
late 1800's, Frederick Volz established a trading
post beside the Atlantic & Pacific Railway
track at Canyon Diablo east of Flagstaff. During
the summer months, Volz would take tourists from
the train station to the Hopi mesas to see the
tribe's ceremonial dances. He opened a trading
post and lodging at the village of New Oraibi (Kykotsmovi)
to accommodate the travelers. Around 1914, the
trading post was taken over by J.L. Hubbell the
renowned trader from Ganado. Operated by Hubbell's
sons, Roman and Lorenzo, the post became the
center of commerce and an important gathering
place for the people of the Third Mesa village. |

 |
Eventually,
the trading post was purchased by
Babbitt
Brothers and was substantially remodeled
in the 1950's.
The
village of Kykotsmovi has owned and operated the
store since the mid 1990's. |
