Weekend at Grandma’s

  • Awhile back, I started working on a rug that I wanted to make entirely out of hand processed yarn. I wanted to challenge myself by not only shearing our sheep, but to actually use the wool to make a Navajo rug by using traditional methods. I took on the challenge but soon realized that it would be done faster with some help and advice from one of my great grandmas. So one evening I drove over and we talked for a few hours, I told her about my idea and plans of what I wanted to accomplish, I asked her if she would be willing to help me. She agreed to do so! I already informed her that I would be recording, she was a little shy and hesitant at first but later on she became a natural. She didn’t mind the camera at all and now she’s use to it. We then made plans for a weekend to work entirely on carding and spinning the wool that I had with me. From the moment I got there, we immediately got to work! I remember my great grandpa talking about how excited she was the next morning because she woke up earlier than usual. While I was still asleep, he already had coffee going and ready to start to day. I immediately jumped up and met her outside before the heat started to pick up. Being able to sit, talk and just process the wool into yarn was everything I always thought of. Now I can say I actually did that, I always heard other people saying they remember doing the same thing with their grandmothers. I understand that there aren’t as much translations in the video but I felt it meaning of it all would be lost or misinterpreted somewhere along the way. I really do hope you enjoy this video!Recently after talking with her awhile back, she admitted that she most likely won’t be able to card and spin wool anymore because her body is getting old. This only makes me more happy to know she was able to help me at one point in time. Whenever she does come around to visit, she loves to look at my loom, my weaving tools all while admiring the entire room and atmosphere.
    Thank you for your time to watch this video and hope it gave you a better understanding of Navajo weaving.

    I never had a chance to meet my grandparents in this lifetime. Listening to her is heartfelt. Very strong. Love her stories. At 58yo, I don't speak Navajo, but I understand fully. Hence, TH-cam. Thank you for sharing your lives.

    Thank you Tyrell! Seeing your Grandmother's hands and hearing her laughter was so special. And I agree, translating would have taken something away from the recording. This was wonderful (and I'm glad you'll have the recording for yourself, too) ❤ And, what a beautiful job she does carding the wool!

    As your grandma speaks of how she learned how to weave and brushing out the yarn, it brought back memories of my childhood with my own grandmother. You are blessed to still have her and listen to her words of wisdom. 😊

    My mom was telling me that her joints were hurting for the first time. I was like, “Damn.” 😢But at least you can sit and talk about wool and everything. It’s reassuring that if she were younger, she’d help you out. I always imagine our elders being young. 😊

    Carding wool is hard work because it’s repetitive motion for many hours, just like spinning can take many hours, but Omg it is so fun.

    Given a change , its once in a life time. I dont know this woman as her loved ones do.
    can find understanding .and grateful, unsure the generation
    She saw in her walk on the earth. seeing she was their
    chance of life. For those who called her mother ,was pleassing from our creator
    Blessing, to so many
    Her spirit true gift
    Story of Earth Spirit Water Blood is the same as my own great grandmother, her birth 1888, her body of Mother Earth , that holds the spirit Given from on high one day return knowing she got to see her own children grow and much more
    Her body formed in to flesh in the water of her mothers,
    Blood there far more knowledge. For now Blood of ancestors still lives known as DNA to others.
    From the video she loved
    Looking around her she grateful th e way shle cares
    for what she Given and work hard for.
    If I may say with kindness
    May not understand as others
    She in once in a life time
    touching others lives who may see the love also.
