A 1898 Scientific American article, the second in a series on Pueblo arts, by Cosmos Mindeleff. It describes the native costume of Hopi (Moki) women, especially the black wool lozenge-patterned blanket dress with blue border and green cord, and compares Hopi and Navaho blanket weaving. It covers men's weaving among the Hopi, hand spinning with a spindle, dyeing, the upright loom, weaving in kivas, prices, and why Indians preferred American-made blankets. Two photographs show Hopi maidens with traditional hair dressing and a woman at an upright loom.
