Navajo Rugs and Weavings

Navajo Rugs and Weavings

Navajo rugs and weaving was learned from the early Spanish settlers living in what is now New Mexico. Our Navajo rugs are all hand made using all wool yarns, either hand spun or commercially produced. The Foutz family has been on the Navajo Indian reservation for over 100 years selling all types of Navajo rugs. We offer for sale, wholesale and retail, almost all types of traditional patterned Navajo rugs. Most of these patterned rugs were named for the trading post from which region they originated. Two Grey Hill, Teec Nos Pos, Burntwater, Ganado, Crystal, Wide Ruin and Pine Springs are all trading posts. We also have many different pictorial rugs, which are woven pictures of the Navajo world as seen through their eyes. The Germantown and Chief Navajo weavings that we have for sale are copies or based on the patterns and colors used around the turn of the century. Yei, Yeibechei, and Sand painting rugs feature spirit figures from Navajo mythology woven into the rug as part of the patternĀ  All of the Navajo rugs for sell come with the name of the weaver as well as their photograph holding the rug they made.
