Mona Laughing

My weavings are handmade on an upright traditional Navajo loom. Composed of naturally and commercially dyed 100% sheep wool, sheared, washed, carded, and spun into yarn. Some of the natural dyes include, sage, rabbit brush, lichen, carrots, onion skin, coffee, wild Navajo tea, and cochineal. The commercial yarn is bought from local pawn shops.
