"Two Grey Hills" Navajo rugs have combination of natural wools that produces varying shades of browns, greys and blacks. The brown and black wool is mixed with white wool to create these subtle shades. People within the Two Grey Hills Chapter raise their own sheep, which alway include brown and black sheep. The wool is often hand carded and hand spun and the weave of the rugs is very fine and very tight. The rugs have elaborate borders and intricate designs.
