The art of weaving Southwestern style rugs is time consuming. In
fact the preparation of the yarn often takes longer than the
actual weaving. It is for this reason that a number of Navajo
Indians are using commercially produced yarn. Today machine-woven
Southwestern style rugs can be purchased, and although not
authentic they can create the affect you are looking for.
Southwestern area rugs portray the colorful and varied heritage of
the Navajo Indian. Many of the designs represent images of crops,
rain, feathers, lightning, animals and other nature symbols that
are important to the Navajo culture.
The Navajo are famous for their beautiful and durable hand-woven
wool rugs. The natural lanolin in the unprocessed wool yarn has
given the Navajo rugs a reputation of strength and longevity.
The beautiful earthy tones and colors of southwestern rugs will
suit a variety of home decors. They are particularly suited to
wood-stained floors and rustic furniture as the vibrant colors
really stand out. The strong emphasis on geometric styles and
patterns also makes them a perfect addition to a contemporary
style home.
Southwestern or Navajo rugs are so striking they can also be used
as wall hangings. The beautiful designs and intricate weave
patterns make them a focal point in any room.
The range of styles and colors is enormous so you shouldn’t have a
problem finding the right southwestern rug to match your décor.
When shopping for a southwestern area rug, not only take into
account the size and complexity of the design but also the
symmetry and neatness of weave. Navajo rugs are unique and reflect
the artist’s style. If you see a rug you like, buy it. As with all
purchases you make, the most important factor is that you like the
rug.
