Navajo
Weaving |
| Weaving
is the process of making cloth, rugs, blankets, and other products by crossing
two sets of threads over and under each other. People learned to weave thousands
of years ago using natural grasses, leafstalks, palm leaves, and thin strips
of wood. Students learned about Navajo rugs; from the shearing of sheep for wool, to weaving on cardboard looms. Today weaving ranks as a major industry in many countries. |
