For those of you who like the idea of getting two rugs for the price of one the Two-Face rugs might be of interest. A Two-Face rug is a specialty weaving that has two distinctly different designs on the two faces of a single rug. Because of the complexity of weaving this type of rug there are fewer weavers willing to take on the challenge. We currently have a nice selection of this unique style of Navajo weaving.

February 27th, 2010Saddle Blankets
February 26th, 2010We have always carried a good selection of saddle blankets in the shop but until now they haven’t been on the website. We created a category for saddle blankets and added nineteen of them to the website. Saddle blankets are woven with thick homespun native wool yarn. The thickness is great for padding under the saddle and makes them very durable for floor use. Most double saddle blankets are approximately 30″ x 60″ with some variation.

Navajo Storyteller Basket
This magnificent basket is a new arrival and we are excited to have it as our first featured item of 2010. The size, shape, design and quality make this a truly exceptional example of contemporary Native American basketry. Tressa Curtis is a very talented weaver and she started this project last summer designing it to tell a pictorial history of her family. The symbols represent a timeline from the past at the bottom to the present at the top. She wanted to start with an important symbol of Navajo basketry so she chose a classic Navajo ceremonial basket design for the foundation at the bottom. The basket is tightly woven and very symmetrical. Click here to see additional photos.
