Genuine Two Grey Hills rugs are woven of natural,
undyed, handspun wool in whites, blacks, & browns.
Weavers produce subtle shades of these basic hues
by carding together various colored wools.
Because of the considerable time and effort required
to prepare the wool for this style, weavings using
these yarns may cost twice as much as those made from
commercial yarns.
Like other styles with borders, many Two Grey Hills
rugs have a spirit line or spirit trail-- a single
line of light colored weft near the top of the design,
running through the border to the edge of the rug.
This spirit line is meant to release the weaver's
creative energies from the rug back to the Universe
so that a weaver's spirit will not be trapped within
the completed rug.
