Teec Nos Pos Area Weavings
| | In a remote area west of Shiprock, New Mexico, the Teec Nos Pos Trading Post was established in 1905. Its weavers produce a tightly woven, intricate design, often in small amounts of bright colors. Some synthetic-dyed handspun yarns are used along with commercial yarns. Often the primary design is an outline of zigzags, triangles and serrated diamonds. | |  | | |
