Miniature Handwoven
Two Grey Hills Navajo Rug
Navajo Weaver: Elizabeth Begay
Bio information on this
and other Navajo weavers.
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.

| Two Grey Hills rugs are typically woven of natural, undyed, handspun wool in designs of white, black, brown. Some do utilize varying amounts of commercially prepared wool yarn and some of the black yarn may be enhanced with dye to make it uniformly black. Shades of the three basic colors are produced by carding the wool of different sheep together and by carding colors together, such as black and white together to produce shades of gray. The yarn in Two Grey Hills weavings is generally finer and the resulting design is generally crisper. |
