More of a catalog of possibilities.

This book contains many popular examples of weaving from the Southwest. It is not a how-to in the sense of how to make the weavings, but rather a collection of weavings showing what can be done or has been made, who made them, and a little about each design. This book includes not just rugs but clothing also. In the picture (reference 212), you can see a loom that looks like it was made from available materials such as 4” water pipes, 2-by, and 4-by 4 planks. It is, or by this time was, viewable in the Navajo Hubble Trading Post.
