A 1902 magazine article by George Wharton James on weaving among Southwestern Native Americans, chiefly the Navaho, with notes on the Pueblo peoples (Hopi, Zuni), Mexican weavers and the Thlinket of Alaska. It covers the vertical loom and its tools, the preparation of wool, the four grades of Navaho blankets including Germantown yarn, native dyes and bayeta cloth, and the sources of designs. It also describes Hopi cotton bridal garments and ceremonial kilts, and heddle-frame weaving of sashes and belts. Illustrated with photographs of weavers and blankets.
