A step-by-step instructional manual on weaving on a simple two-harness floor loom, written for beginners and published by the United States Indian Service in 1947. It covers the parts of the loom and equipment, making heddles and harnesses, tying up the loom, planning and winding the warp on a reel, threading, beaming, weaving a plain-weave shawl, mending broken warp threads, and finishing with fringes. Nearly every page has Air-Vu isometric drawings, and the book ends with a few plain-weave threading variations and a glossary of terms.
