The weaving technique is closer to actual Navajo technique, with the use of the comb beater, just on a low floor loom rather than upright. They don&#039;t show the set up for the ends, or if more than one rug is woven in series on the same warp.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking for other differences that might help us distinguish them - the wool yarn is lumpier, and looks like there are multiple plies (more than one thread included in the yarn). Handspun Navajo wool is usually only single ply.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a certain irony in the situation. Many of the designs used in Navajo rugs were introduced by traders, who encouraged the weavers to use patterns from popular oriental rugs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
