“How many different color changes can you count across the pattern? (Someone has already counted more than 80!). The style grows out of a trend for ‘eye dazzler’ rugs woven with commercial Germantown yarns in the 1880s and '90s. It now represents one of the two recognized styles woven by weavers in the Teec Nos Pos and Red Mesa area.” —Ann Hedlund
