Native American Navajo Rugs

At Kachina House we carry a small selection of Native American Navajo rugs, handmade by Navajo weavers using hand-dyed wool.

The Navajo Creation story states that Spider Woman taught the Navajo people how to weave Navajo rugs. The early Navajo rugs and weavings were made for utilitarian purposes—traditional dresses, wearing blankets, and saddle blankets. It was not until the end of the 19th century that Navajo rug artists began to create weavings for sale.

Navajo rug weaving is a form of artistic expression. Many traditional Navajo rug patterns have been associated since the 1920s with specific areas of the Navajo reservation, promoted by Trading Posts. Some identifiable Navajo rug patterns include Burntwater, Chief’s Blanket, Chinle, Crystal, Ganado, Klagetoh, Teec Nos Pos, Two Grey Hills, Wide Ruins, Yei & Yeibichai, and more.
