Churro wool

The Trading Post at Two Grey Hills in New Mexico is a tiny place, set in a bleak and dusty landscape.  But the Navajo of that area spin and weave iconic rugs that are immediately recognisable to those in the know.

The yarn is all hand spun, and the colours are natural.

It is very beautiful.  Here's a bit of technical info from Mr. Wiki:
The Navajo-Churro, or Churro for short (also American or Navajo Four-Horned) is a breed of domestic sheep originating with the Spanish Churra sheep obtained by Navajo, Hopi and other Native American nations around the 16th century during the Spanish Conquest. The breed is renowned for its hardiness and adaptability to extremes of climate. Its wool consists of a protective topcoat and soft undercoat. Some rams have four fully developed horns, a trait shared with few other breeds in the world. The Navajo-Churro has also gained popularity for its low-maintenance reputation, resistance to disease, and lean meat. Some say they are very personable. Ewes often birth twins. This breed is raised primarily for wool.
