All wool used is Navajo Churro, warp and weft.
Wool is a naturally carbon-friendly fiber that is a simple combination of sunlight, water, and grass. It is made up of 50% carbon and is completely biodegradable.
It is naturally durable, fire-retardant, and free of the harmful off-gassing chemicals found in some synthetic fibers.
In mothproofing, the wool is treated with pyrethrin—a natural pesticide derived from chrysanthemum flowers—to protect the wool from moths.
There are approximately 1.2 billion sheep on planet Earth. About 7000 are Navajo-Churro (Dibé dits'ozí). They were once considered an endangered animal.
All of my wool is sourced locally from Tierra Wools in Chama, New Mexico, 3 Dog Farm in Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Cedar Mesa Ranch, Dolores, Colorado. All of this wool is milled and spun in either Mora, New Mexico or Buffalo, Wyoming.
These rugs can be vacuumed but care should be taken. Heavy rotating vacuum heads can tangle the warp (fringe). For heavy soiling, dry cleaning is recommended. They are traditionally cleaned in Northern Europe and on the Navajo Nation with new fallen, dry snow, on a very cold day.
These rugs are tough and can be displayed on a wall using a carpeting edge strip, available at any home improvement store.
