On The Navajo Loom: Color Choices

I am about and inch or so away from my halfway point in this weaving. I am going to try very hard to post something every week about what I am learning while I am weaving in the Navajo Way.

I love all styles of Navajo Weavings, but I am drawn to the Two Grey Hills motifs. Traditionally Two Grey Hills colors are black, brown, gray, and white/natural white.

When I started this weaving, I really did want to use traditional colors. The reason I picked these colors is it was what I have on hand! I just can’t justify buying anymore yarn, I have to use up some of my stash, and I have some churro waiting to be spun.

It will be interesting how it will turn out. I am going to try very hard not to point out all my mistakes, I am just happy to be back in the weaving groove. :)
