Taugelchee, Daisy

(b Navajo Reservation, AZ, c. 1920). Native American Navajo weaver. She began weaving as a young girl and in time matured into a master craftsman. In the 1990s she had ceased to weave, but enjoyed helping her daughter-in-law, Priscilla Taugelchee (b ?1950), with her work. Taugelchee capped a long career of developing her skills and those of others by demonstrating and lecturing throughout the US. Unlike many Navajo weavers, she dyed and spun her own yarn and rarely wove textiles of less than 110 yarn count. She was a master of the ‘Two Grey Hills’ style which features a tightly woven fabric, marked by geometrical designs in diamonds, frets and triangles on brown, black, white and an occasional tan on a grey background, woven with vegetable-dyed yarns. Her finished products are among the most highly sought after of all Navajo weavers.
