Two Grey Hills Navajo Indian Rugs are known as weavings in which nocolored dyes were used. Instead, weavers carefully combed and spun differentnatural colors of yarn to yield a beautiful range of creamy whites, tans,browns, and greys. (To get a solid black color, weavers sometimes wouldover-dye dark brown wool with black dye.) The weavers around Two Grey Hillsdeveloped very complex geometric patterns, usually based on a large, hooked,central diamond with multiple geometric borders. They also were known for veryfinely spun wool of small diameter which they used to make very thin, dense,and tightly woven rugs that are certainly the greatest technical achievementsin the history of Navajo rug making. Many of the women who now weave for nearbyToadlena Trading Post carry on this tradition of quality. The most finely wovenrugs often are called tapestry rugs.
