This new and gorgeously-illustrated book presents important information on Pueblo, Navajo, Rio Grande and Northern Mexican weaving styles of the Southwestern U.S. region. Traditional and modern styles of blankets, clothing and rugs are identified and explained in detail with brief accounts of some of the old trading posts that sold them. Unique to this book are discussions of family styles with active weavers today. The author continues to work with modern weavers interested in preserving old styles and has gained personal insight to the origins of both old and new designs which she shares, for the first time, with her readers. The illustrations are drawn largely from the famous and outstanding collection of southwestern weavings at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the University of Ne Mexico where the author has been curator for many years. She knows these weavings well and clearly explains them. 194 color plates and 385 beautiful black and white pictures present these outstanding weavings clearly for close inspections. All weavers, collectors, dealers, and historians will welcome this new study.

This review is from: Weaving of the Southwest (Paperback)
This book contains many popular examples of Weaving of the Southwest". It is not a how-to in the sense of how to make the weavings as a collection of weavings showing what can be done or has been made, who made them and a little about each design. This book includes not just rugs but clothing also.
On picture (reference 212) you can see a loom that looks like it was made from available materials such as 4" water pipes, 2 by, and 4 by 4 planks. It is or by this time was viewable in the Navaho Hubble Trading Post. Warping All by Yourself
