Ya teh, Angie. Thank you for such a lovely class! I lived near Crownpoint for 5 years, as school counselor at the boarding school there. How I wish now that I had spent more time learning the Navajo way of weaving and spinning! I so miss the stories, the way the women teachers laughed in the school halls, and the children. And the very subtle joking! Ahéhee' Linda Kerth
I love the carding rolags, prepping the wool, using the spindle to make roving into yarn. I am considering a loom to weave or get card weavers, both sound exciting to do.
I just found this video after reading American Girl historical books in the joesafina serie's she learned how to weave blankets. Then I read the Kaya series and she wesves all kinds of beautiful things she's from the Nez Perez tribe in her books
Great video. I see comments regarding the availability of frames. I would suggest you find an engineering company in your area and show them the appropriate part of video on it's construction. I'm am engineer (welder) and this is quite a straightforward project. Any welding company should be able to help you. Or use plumbing components perhaps, for a DIY version?
I wouldn’t give them to the Smithsonian. They have a habit of losing items. LOAN them to museums for display and when they don’t want to display, take them back.
Mark desceeny has a web site. Or weaving in beauty. For traditional wooden ones. You can also make them. Angie's husband makes the iron ones,,,I think he probably still does,,, you can probably find her.
@@cwilliams7017 Thank you! I'd like to be able to weave up to 3 feet wide; so, the only way I might find one is to make one myself but I will continue to search with the names you have shared.
I was a student of Angie at Colorado school. What a wonderful time. She is a great teacher. I am still weaving rugs 20 some years later
I really love the bird rug. I think it’s fantastic It takes dedication to weave a rug. Thanks for sharing.... 🐑
Thank you so very much for taking the time to make a full step-by-step instructional video.
I am also learning Peruvian 'frameless' weaving.
I punch needle, and soon to be rug tufting. I admire and respect this so much. Thank you for this video. So much respect. Beautful work.

I have been looking for videos with this level of instruction. Thank you for sharing!
Would someone weave a rug for a customer?
I have searched for a turquoise rug with a red thunderbird in the center.
Wow - warping is so much work!
Awesome adventure
Thanks for taking me there.

Hello Angie. Are you teaching weaving some where? I would like to take your class.
Me too. Id like to learn.

Thank you so much for this invaluable information!

There's a lot of tension. Pvc may not be good. Otherwise, good idea.
My daughter wishes to learn how to set up a frame for weaving. Any suggestions?
@@cwilliams7017plumbing can be iron pipe
She didn't do the navajo ply for the edging cord

Are the looms as shown in the video for sale somewhere? Metal posts, sturdy but light weight structure?
Her husband used to make them. Maybe still does. You may be able to Google her in tuba city. Or find plans for a wooden one.
What a treasure for those of us wanting to learn. Does anyone know of a source to purchase a loom similar to those used in this class?

There's a navajo weaving store downtown gallup (weaving in Beauty) they sell everything from the loom to the navajo dyed yarn made from plants.
@@shelbyjackson8403 Thank you
They also do lessons at the local library for navajo weaving here in gallup and they have a course at the NTU for navajo arts weaving is one of them.
What yarn was used before sheep were introduced? I’m assuming sheep weren’t native.
the Navajo Churro sheep was native to the area!
35:43 This can not be done with cats in the room. It would be chaos! 😂
Can someone teach me how to weave?
I purchased this DVD and a book just a few years ago. I believe it is still copyrighted.
