Using traditional Navajo weaving method to create my rugs. Most of my rugs are woven with 85% wool and 15% mohair yarn. The yarn that I used are either hand dyed with natural dye or acid dye. I use an upright loom and use techniques taught to me by my grandmother. I also sometimes handspin my yarn.
