Dy Begay Navajo Weaver Martin Phillips Photography In a video produced by the virginia museum of fine arts, she describes how she makes dyes from plant matter and soils, and thinks of the weaving process as analogous to "painting with yarn". D. y. begay described the process of weaving a navajo rug. how the sheep are shorn, the wool is carded and spun on a navajo spindle and dyed using natural dyes such as mistletoe fungus found on juniper trees, yellow from chamizo stems and flowers, and rose colours from the prickly pear cactus fruit. For over four decades, artist dy begay expanded the expressive range of diné (navajo) weaving, transforming the form into a language that is entirely her own. In my navajo weaving culture, weaving involves raising sheep, taking care of sheep, and at a special time of year we shear the sheep. we take all the hair off the sheep. we get to keep some of the wool for our weaving. the shearing comes first and then comes the cleaning and caring of the wool.
