Each Navajo rug from Bair's Indian Trading Company is hand-woven of 100% wool yarn on traditional upright looms by members of the Navajo Nation. Materials range from hand-carded, handspun, and natural color or vegetal dyed wool, to commercially cleaned, carded, spun, and dyed wool. Miniature Navajo rugs are likewise hand-woven of 100% wool that is generally respun commercial yarn. They are woven in the same manner as the full sized rugs and most are of tapestry quality (over 80 wefts per inch). All Navajo weavings offered for sale on our site have been woven by contemporary weavers in regional and non-regional styles. They have intact edging and selvage cords and corner tassles, and are without stains, fading, holes, or insect damage.

Klagetoh, which means "Hidden Springs" is a community south of Ganado, AZ and about 10 miles north of Wide Ruins on the Navajo Reservation. The use of a single or double central diamond motif is seen in Two Grey Hills, Burntwater, Ganado, and Klagetoh style weavings with the distinction between one and the other being made strictly on the use of color. Some consider this style to be a subtype of Ganado rugs. The distinctions have become blurred between several styles today. Generally, the Ganado and Klagetoh styles have less complex designs than Two Grey Hills and Burntwater style weavings. | ||
