A single-page National Geographic illustration with a photograph by Nevin O. Winter of a young Ukrainian woman in traditional dress and a multi-strand bead necklace, seated at a wooden spinning wheel beside a stove. The caption notes the women's fondness for bright colors and says that industrial cloth production had led to the decline of home spinning wheels and looms in the Ukraine region.

A photographic feature from National Geographic showing weavers and spinners in eight parts of the world, each plate with a short caption. Subjects include a Hardanger girl at a spinning wheel in Norway, a woman spinning with distaff and spindle in northern Portugal, a Navajo woman at an upright loom, outdoor weaving in Mexico, homespun linen weaving in Serbia, mat weaving on Santa Cruz in the South Pacific, reed floor-covering manufacture in Egypt, and Korean women spinning and weaving. The captions give brief notes on dress, materials, and loom types, but there are no technical weaving details or drafts.
