Harriet Whitney

Harriet Whitney is a member of the Yazzie-Whitney-Blake family,  noted for their weaving design innovations. This particular style of rug was developed by members of her family when they were first learning to weave. Grandma Rose Yazzie set up the warps and pointed to her pile of tiny balls of leftover Burntwater vegetal colors, saying that they could use all they wanted.  Without enough of any one color to do a conventional design, they created this imaginative pattern using sthe scraps where the background color would usually be.  Bruce loved the result and the family has been weaving this style ever since.   Harriet is an excellent weaver and this rug is very skillfully woven.   

Harriet lives in Chinle, AZ, about 60 miles north of our trading post.
