Editorial Reviews
Book Description
First published in 1934

Detailed and comprehensive study of the techniques of primitive weaving, from the building of the loom with materials at hand to the cleaning, carding and handling the raw wool from the sheared sheep

It is a remarkable accounting of a primitive people developing a most sophisticated skill.

At the time this book was first published in 1934, no non-Navajo Indian or Whiteman had ever developed the ability so beautifully displayed in this extraordinary art form.

No book has ever so carefully described this most ancient of crafts. Heavily illustrated. 7 color plates of masterpieces. Bibliography. Index. 460 pages. Soft cover only. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
