Wall Hangings | The Knit Tree Retail Store

Store Message

Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2024 being a great year here at The Knit Tree. As Sharon Nani, owner, prepares for retirement, she is training her son, Ken to knit the items in the online store, plus the ones that were removed. Ken is going to take over The Knit Tree and its equipment so we can continue to offer these unique custom knits to our customers. Ken is not new to machine knitting - he earned his high school and college spending money by filling orders back in the 1990's, and has continued to help in maintaining the equipment. Ken is creative in his own rights with his "Custom Wood and Land Works" business where he falls the timber, prepares the lumber and creates unique wood items and projects: custom storage sheds, fences, decks ect. So we may add new catagories to this web site when the time arrives. SO LOOK FORWARD TO ADDING THE CAMO KNITS BACK INTO THE ONLINE STORE THIS YEAR.

These beautiful drapey Wall Hanging comes with a special meaning. It is symbolic of the "Apron" which is an important part of the Native American Ceremonial Dress. The Artisan, Darlene Marshall remembers when she was a small child, her father told her: "When a girl dances correctly, the sound of shells and abalone make the dress sing." The fringe on the bottom of the hanging represents the "Singing Apron", and sways as the 'Hanging Dances".

These aprons are usually designed with a large central motif, bordered by smaller motifs. The main color is off white or tan. The motifs are in colors that could be obtained from the plants in the area of the Reservation. To match home decor, we do give you the option to select your own colors. These wall hangings will be a great decor item in any home as a gift !!
