Blankets under the pinilian description are textiles woven with pre-selected warp threads that produce brocade weaves or designs that appear floating on the cloth’s surface. Pinilian also refers to the supplementary weft technique employed in textile weaving using either continuous or discontinuous supplementary weft yarns (Pastor-Roces, 1991). The use of the latter is called inlaid, locally termed as insukit or inkaot in Ilocos (Respicio, 2014). In this textile, the insukit or inkaot is used to produce the sinan-pabo (turkey-like) design and the border or fence-like form that features rose and leaf motifs. It is a design shared by both the Ilokano and Itneg, which are “eloquent expressions of lush, abundance, wealth, and grandeur of life” (Respicio, 2000, p. 116). According to Respicio (2014), a total of 179 design sticks inserted in between the warp threads were used to produce a sinan-pabo design (p.92). The design appears scattered on a white plain ground weave, as opposed to those made using continuous supplementary weft yarns, which look like designs arranged in rows (Respicio, 2000).
