Navajo Two Gray Hills rugs are among the most renowned and prestigious styles of Navajo (Diné) weaving. They originate from the Two Grey Hills area in northwestern New Mexico, near the trading posts of Two Grey Hills and Toadlena. These rugs are celebrated for their exceptional quality—often called the "Cadillac" of Navajo rugs—due to their fine, tapestry-like weave (frequently over 80 wefts per inch in masterworks), intricate geometric designs, and exclusive use of natural, undyed wool in shades of white, black, brown, and gray (sometimes with subtle over-dyeing for deeper blacks).
