Two Grey
Hills Navajo Indian Rugs are known as weavings in which no colored dyes were
used. Instead, weavers carefully combed and spun different natural colors of
yarn to yield a beautiful range of creamy whites, tans, browns, and greys. (To
get a solid black color, weavers sometimes would over-dye dark brown wool with
black dye.) The weavers around Two Grey Hills developed very complex geometric
patterns, usually based on a large, hooked, central diamond with multiple
geometric borders. They also were known for very finely spun wool of small
diameter which they used to make very thin, dense, and tightly woven rugs that
are certainly the greatest technical achievements in the history of Navajo rug
making. Many of the women who now weave for nearby Toadlena Trading Post carry
on this tradition of quality. The most finely woven rugs often are called
tapestry rugs. Medicine Man Gallery specializes in old Navajo Indian rugs from
Two Grey Hills, including rugs by master weavers such as Daisy Tauglechee.
