Each rug is woven to include one small flaw in the final product in order that any evil spirits residing in the rug may have a way of escape.

The more you know about Navajo weaving, the more you will enjoy collecting them. Warp strings are the vertical strings which serve as the foundation of the rug. Wool yarn is prefered because cotton warp strings may not tolerate rough use as a floor covering. Weft threads are the horizontal threads that cover the warp threads, or the yarn that is woven over and under the warp and from side to side. Wefts per inch are counted on both faces of a fabric.

When the wefts are counted on one side, this number is doubled, as there is a corresponding weft on the other side. It can vary at different parts of the rug.

A small thin line that extends from the center design field across the border to the outside edge of some rugs; the line is frequently placed near a corner and made of the same color as the center field's background.
