The New Lands style of weaving is named for the area around
Sanders, AZ where many Navajos were relocated to from traditional
homelands in the Black Mesa region of the Navajo Nation.
The
most recent development in Navajo weaving, New Lands rugs
combine Burntwater soft, vegetal-dyed colors with a Teec
Nos Pos design, and are often of a raised outline method
of construction; a special weaving technique where areas
of the rug are filled with fine vertical pinstripes of subtle
colors. This weaving method results in raised, three-dimensional
ridges outlining the edges of the primary design elements.
Many
New Lands style weavers are from the Coal Mine Mesa area
of the Navajo Nation and were the first to develop the raised
outline method of weaving in the 1930's.
