Description

This long, thick wooden batten is a tool to help weavers by sewing threads through the warps of a Navajo loom. This makes it easy to open the warps (1.75 inches wide), allows the weaver to have easy access to slide the weaving wool yarn. The qualities of oak wood are exceptionally heavy, solid, and sturdy. The tip is not sharp but well rounded and flat, making it easy to get between the tight space. A hallmark, “MHD” carved on the side of the batten by the artist.
