Ehlers has woven several dozen blankets over the last 40 years, and she’s taught hundreds of students.
She says she learned from two weavers, Dorica Jackson and Jennie Thlunaut. Thlunaut was 92 at the time.
Her father told her that she would have to earn mentorship from Thlunaut, though. Ehlers says she brought wool that sheʼd spun to Klukwan to show her, and then Thlunaut began teaching her how to weave in her style. Ehlers finished a child-sized blanket under her guidance. For potential young weavers, Ehlers says they shouldn’t let the enormity of the tradition hold them back.
