I am awestruck. Being an experienced handspinner and beginner weaver I can only say that this lady is an ARTIST. A work of art produced from scratch with such simple means... A humble thanks from Germany for showing this to us.
Thankyou to whoever made this film for us... i too was fascinated by what surrounds this craft; the clothes the women were wearing, how and why the baby was in what sort of holder, the landscape, the apparent good health of all we see. i would love to ask them questions.. UK RUclipsr
When I saw the little kid trying to help it brought back memories of when I was small. I remember my grandma and my mom doing this and I would sit there with the extra pair of carders and try to help too lol
Thank you for showing us the whole process, starting with the rugged country, the care of the sheep, teethe shearing and carding and spinning before the intricate weaving starts.
I love the rug weaving process of Diné people (Navajo), this is precious. Not many people have this technique anymore. When one says "everything has a spirit" this is one of those things that have a spirit. Your focus and creativity is all put into one and is created beautifully.
carding wool results in rollags or the rolls you saw that resulted. You don't need rollags to spin wool. wool can be fluffed out and spun directly from a cloud of yarn. Another way is to loosely bundle and tie and lash it to a distaff and spin the wool held on the distaff onto a spindle. the distaff is a wooden staff tool to hold a bunch of wool for spinning.
It's a matrilineal society, women have a lot of political mobility, get to own land, conduct ceremony, and make pilgramiges to the sacred mountains for squaw dances, which are primarily dances done by women.
Every animal feels odd naked! Loved viewing of the whole process. Soap root. Dyed roving. Beating down the PATTERN. Close up of merging two colors BETWEEN the warp. WOW! And BEAUTIiful skirts & wrist details. Love the spider women. Religion. THANK YOU CREATOR. A beautiful craft you give to 5-finger beings.

This video really embodies the historical and cultural importance of Navajo weaving to the Dine people. I so enjoyed this.

WOW! Amazing!!
Without so much as a table, or a chair…
Is it supposed to not have sound?
patricia Hayes that's how I found it. I'd love to see a version with sound.
Is the video supposed to have no sound? or is it just my computer?
I found it without sound.
women doing all the work, of course
Bcz in this culture women are the owners of the flocks and land.
It's a matrilineal society, women have a lot of political mobility, get to own land, conduct ceremony, and make pilgramiges to the sacred mountains for squaw dances, which are primarily dances done by women.
The sheep looks embarrassed.

Why do your baby???!!!
Well, when a women has a baby in our tribe, they often would put babies in a Cradle board so they don't roam or just move and get out of view.
Basically protection along with some other reasons
