As some of you know via email, I went a shopping trip this past Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. I hope you join me at some point. This weekend I found and purchased purpleheart weaving combs and a rare Navajo belt weaving batten.
I am a discriminating Navajo weaver and Navajo weaving instructor when it comes to hand-selecting and purchasing Navajo handmade weaving tools. I only buy Navajo handmade weaving tools that are well made. I would use the weaving tools below for my personal weaving or in my Navajo weaving classes.
Please keep in mind what I purchase is not always available if you need tools for a project or upcoming class. So I advise you to buy it when you see it! Prices are also subject change due to supplier, availability of materials, etc.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. I also can look for speciality weaving tools and a deposit is required. Enjoy!
This is an unusual tool that is made of Purpleheart. This batten is used for traditional Navajo belt weaving on a vertical loom. L=16″, W=2.5″. Quantity available: 1

Navajo Finishing Comb#1
These are small and handy weaving combs that used for finishing a Navajo style rug. This one of my fastest selling finishing combs. L=7″, W=.75″. Quanity available: 1.
I went on another shopping trip on the Navajo Reservation this past weekend. I was looking for the elusive green turquoise jacla for my vintage green turquoise tab necklace. I found wonderful treasures on this trip. I am only posting a few of my treasures that you may find interesting.
I found some authentic, REALLY handmade vintage Navajo weaving tools made from either juniper wood or oak. I want to give you the opportunity to purchase these rare items. These items are quite rare to find and even more rare to purchase. These Navajo weaving tools show signs of wear and tear weaving wearing blankets, regional style rugs, and being accidentally dropped by the original unknown owners.
Please contact me if you have any questions about these weaving tools or my shopping trips. I will be advertising my shopping trips for next year.
Vintage Navajo Weaving Battens

Vintage Navajo Weaving Comb #3
This is another charming old style Navajo weaving comb. Natural wood. L=10.5″, W=1.25″.I knew this weaving comb will sell immediately and it did!
I want to thank all of you who participated in Convergence 2010 in Albuquerque. It was the first time I attended a Convergence conference. What a wonderful time I had!!
I taught the Navajo Weaving Bootcamp Class along with Rose Dedman, Jennie Slick and Mary Walker. We had about 53 students in a huge space we called “the echo room”! Actually, once we got started it was not a problem to be in that room. I want to thank Rose, Jennie, Mary and Pat for helping me in with the first ever class I taught. I also want to thank my students for being patient and having a sense of humor. I enjoyed meeting all of you and look forward to doing it again next year.
Here’s another aspect of my weaving class, the supplies. I’ve tried several types of warps, yarns, and weaving tools. I can hand-select for you my favorites when it comes to weaving combs, battens, spindles, finishing tools, yarns, and types of warp.
So the total package of taking my weaving class includes a handmade Navajo loom made by me, weaving lessons in warping and weaving, an opportunity to meet Noel Bennett and Ramona Sakiestewa, and hand-selected tools and supplies to start and finish your first Navajo weaving in my class. Which other Navajo weaving instructor can offer you all the materials and inspiration to learn Navajo weaving?
