Transporting this Rug was a job. This Navajo Ganado rug weighed over 500lbs. navajo ganado rug
Over 50 darn areas some patched with fabric, from a previous attempt at repairing.

In my restoration I counted over 100 areas that were rewoven. Replacing edging cords etc.

I began by color matching, dyeing. Then the process of using raw wool carding, spinning the yarn, by spindle and wheel.
