What reading level is The Navajo And His Blanket book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ing results in a single-ply fabric; the pattern being the same on both sides. Figure 19 is a picture of a Navajo weaver at her work, and was made from a photograph by Charles Goodman, of Bluff, Utah.
Sometimes the main frame of the loom is dispensed with, and the trunks of a pair of standing small trees are utilized in its stead. But this is of most primitive form, and lacks many of the features of an approved Navajo loom, though it serves to illus- trate the simplicity of construction that may... be made to answer the purpose.
While weaving, the squaw sits on the ground and weaves from the bottom upward. When the work has progressed so far that she cannot reach it easily, the rope on the upper beam is loos- ened, as is also the top bar of the warp frame, permitting the lat- ter to slide down on the frame sides to the proper position. It is now fastened again, the warp drawn taut and the finished por- tion of the blanket sewn tightly to the lower beam of the main frame.
The reader may have often noticed the marks of this sew- ing, for it is done so tightly, and the blanket is held so firmly in position while being woven, that they remain for years, and fre- quently until the blanket is worn out.
