Also, old antiques that have the character that goes with age to the new contemporary weavings. Enjoy looking through our online collection and remember if you don't see what you are looking for, we have many more in the Post.

Navajo weaver Cara Yazzie is from an area rich in weaving tradition. She is known for her Teec Nos Pos style rugs and has taught her young daughters the traditional art.

Rosemary weaves this rug with a tightness that will last for generations of getting used daily.
