<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 735236, member: 45&quot;]It would help to know how many weft stitches per inch this rug is.&nbsp; I was estimating, based on the 33&quot; measurement given. Using the first and second photos, I divided down to half, then to 1/4, then all the way down to 1/32, which would be about the width of the black side border.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the second photo, where the rug is folded back, it&#039;s fairly easy to count the stitches on the white band, (which looks like it&#039;s slightly wider than the black side border), and came up with around 18-24.&nbsp; Nowhere near the average 45 found on a Two Grey Hills.</p><p><br /></p><p>The finest Navajo rug ever woven was a Two Grey Hills, by Daisy Taugelchee, who was considered the best Navajo rug weaver ever.&nbsp; She made rugs over 115 per inch.&nbsp; No one else really came close, but the Two Grey Hills rugs, generally, are the finest woven.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to find out for sure, you might contact Mark Winters at the Toadlena Trading Post.&nbsp; He wrote the book <u>The Master Weavers: Celebrating one Hundred Years of Navajo Textile Artists from the Toadlena/Two Grey Hills Weaving Region</u>.&nbsp; His contact information is on the trading post&#039;s web site. He&#039;s the recognized expert today on Two Grey Hills.&nbsp; [/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
