Songs from the Loom

In Songs from the Loom, photographer and writer Monty Roessel accompanies Jaclyn and her grandmother as they shear sheep, gather plants to dye wool, and weave a rug. Navajo rugs are highly valued and hang in museums around the world. This book looks at what the beautiful rugs mean to the Navajos.

For the Navajos, weaving is more than a craft or hobby. It is an important part of the culture and history of the Dine―the people.
