This new trade was funneled through trading posts where synthetic dyes and machine produced wool and yarn were made readily available. Rugs from this transitional period (1868 to 1900) are often characterized as more coarsely woven with very bright colors. This example was woven of natural dyed handspun wool(comma) but has the large(comma) coarse(comma) figures associated with Transitional style. This rug was purchased in Red Lake(comma) or Tonalea(comma) Arizona(comma) in 1908 where a trading post had been established in the late 1800's. AZ Navajo Rugs Red Lake Unprovenienced Rug
