Item Name: Navajo Rug Designs Kit

Historical Fact: For 300 years, Navajos have been weaving rugs by hand. Styles have evolved from early simple conservative designs to distinctive regional styles that define the look of Navajo rugs today.

Today’s rug weavers still produce these unique works of art that can be often be identified by their place of origin.
