The lack of fringe doesn't necessarily mean you're looking at a Navajo carpet or blanket. Mexican weavers may tuck the warp ends in, to make it look continuous. The weaving will be thicker at ends and thinner towards the ends in these cases. Second, look out for "lazy lines". A lazy line can be a diagonal 45-degree angle line created by the Navajo weaver when creating a rug. A lazy line can be a sign that a rug is authentic Navajo. But, imitation rugs often have similar lines. The weaver creates a lazy line as he works. The weaver stands in front the loom and weaves the weft yarn according to the required pattern. The weaver moves on to the next section. This creates beautiful lines within the rug's body.

Navajo rug ID begins with the ability to recognize some basic regional characteristics. It is important to remember, however, that every rug, like it's weaver, is an individual. The process of weaving, to the Navajo, is a spiritual one. Each weaver puts her (or occasionally, his) soul and creative energy into the weaving of a rug. Though it may have a characteristic regional design, it will be the interpretation of the weaver that will make that rug its own enduring piece of art. While basic knowledge of regional characteristics is useful in the study of Navajo rug ID, in the Navajo nation today a rug with a regional name such as Two Grey Hills may have actually been woven by a weaver from a completely different region.
