Beautiful Coast Salish Blanket

This is the Flying Goose pattern.

We saw a great exhibit on Coast Salish Weaving in the spring at MOA.

They raised a special type of dog where they would gather their fur, then spin it and mix it with duck down and a bit of silt to make it stick. The blankets were beautiful. The spindle whorls were also lovely and today Susan Point has many beautiful Spindle whorl designs in public places, whistler, Vancouver, Victoria. See here for an interesting link.
