I did some shopping on the Navajo Reservation this weekend.  I purchased some weaving tools and some sort of weaving tools to share with you.  I encountered some surprising news that one of my favorite silversmiths is going to eventually quit making her beautiful cluster work.  This showed me I need to buy items if they catch my fancy.  If I don’t, I probably will not find these items later or at a much higher price! 

Please keep in mind these weaving tools and weaving comb pins are not always readily available.  Remember there is demand for these items from around the globe.  This is a global economy.  I know you know this, but sometimes we forget. 

Please contact me if you have any questions about the following list of weavings and weaving comb pins.  Notice off to the left the photo of my weaving bag with a miniature Navajo weaving comb pin and the natural Sleeping Beauty turquoise cluster pin  by one of my favorite silversmiths. Isn’t she a beauty?

	Navajo Finishing Battens (top to bottom)     Both are made of oak. These battens are used when the weaving space becomes smaller and smaller, and the wide weaving batten can no longer be placed in the beginning weaving space of the rug. Quantity available of each: 1.  Finishing batten #1, L=22″, W=5/8″. Price: $28 plus $10 shipping in the U.S.* Finishing batten #2, L=18″, W=3/8″. Price: $16 plus $10 shipping in the U.S.*
	Navajo Finishing Battens (top to bottom)     The top batten is made of Juniper wood. The bottom batten is made of ed Oak wood.  Both finishing battens are perfect for working in small weaving areas or on small weavings. Finishing batten #3 (top): L=14″, W= 0.25″. Price: $18 plus $8 shipping in the U.S.* Finishing batten #4 (bottom): L=12″, W=0.75″. Price: $16 plus $8 shipping in the U.S.*
	Navajo Weaving Comb #2    This weaving comb is made of Purpleheart wood.  It’s a good weight for beginning and experienced Navajo rug weavers.  I have a similar weaving comb and my arm does not tire from using it.  The pointed tip is perfect for scalloping your weft yarn while weaving. Quantity available: 1. L=10″, W=1.25″ at its widest. The weaving teeth are 1.75″ long. Price: SOLD
	Navajo Weaving Comb #3      This weaving comb is made with Red Oak wood.  This is a perfect weight for beginning and experienced Navajo rug weavers.  The rounded tip is perfect for scalloping your weft yarn while weaving.  Quantity available: 1. L=10″, W=2.25 at its widest. The weaving teeth are 1.875″ long. Price: SOLD
