A 1937 article by Ellis Prentice Cole describing how a Navajo weaver sets up an upright loom and weaves, based on the author's observations in Arizona. It explains the heddle stick, sword and fork beater, and how designs are built with finger-placed colored weft, including vertical and diagonal edges. It then advises how to imitate Navajo-style tapestry rugs and cloth on two- or four-harness hand or foot-power looms, with notes on warp spacing, yarns, fringe, and selvages. Illustrations include a loom photograph and line drawings of the loom and design methods.

A short article by Ellis Prentice Cole advising handweavers to make finished garments and household items to sell, rather than compete with factories. She presents three projects: a striped wool parka or hood with a diagram for weaving and making up, a sports jacket in Navajo-method weaving, and a set of woven protective covers for a sofa. It gives practical details on yarns, setts, widths and finishing, with photographs and a layout diagram.
