Spring 1963 issue of The Shuttle, a newsletter from the January and Wood Co. of Maysville, Kentucky, aimed at rug weavers on 2- and 4-harness looms. Alice K. Cripps urges weavers to use up leftover warp, filler, old hose, towels, and clothing, with ten photographed rug and bag samples and notes on shuttles, colors, and fillers. It also gives a "Color Conscious" all-colored warp pattern with sectional warping figures, and Leonard K. Oliver's directions for waffle weave on a two-harness loom using a dowel and three sheds. Reader letters cover loop fringes, tearing and joining rags, hose rugs, centering the reed, and weaving tips, with profiles of weavers such as Rev. Ryan, Alex Porter, and Mrs. Rousseau.
