"Every weaving has a story. We share that story with you."

Sonachi, Inc., markets Navajo weavings created by native people of that tribe, predominantly women. Our company sells textiles woven with traditional methods that stand as some of the finest artistic efforts of the modern Navajo weaver.

The wool fibers in the majority of our rugs are created with natural dyes -- colors created by using plants, berries, insects and even soils from the Four Corners area. Though all the rugs are made with ancient methods, they are often inspired by modern images, such as Escher's tessellations and scenes of contemporary life called pictorials.

In addition, Sonachi offers classes on the history of weaving in the Southwest. Most of these classes are free of charge to those in the Denver, Colo., metropolitan area -- part of our goal to create a sustaining market for Navajo weavings by educating the public about the incredible beauty and artistic skill they represent. Appraisals are another Sonachi service, provided by a trained and licensed appraiser.

This site includes a listing of our upcoming classes and events, a small sample of the rugs we carry and several options to contact us.
