Shuttle (Spring 1964)
Spring 1964 issue of The Shuttle, a house periodical of the January & Wood Co. of Maysville, Kentucky, makers of Maysville carpet warp. It is dedicated to Raymond and Alice Cripps and gives two rug patterns by them: a two-harness 'Colorful Combination' pattern in white rug yarn and colored carpet warp sections, and a four-harness 'Work Together' pattern that combines the 'Goose Eye' threading with a four-color design. The patterns come with threadings, treadling notes, and photographs of rugs, bags, an apron, a mat and a pot-holder. The rest of the issue is reader letters from weavers in the US and Canada about rag rug weaving, looms, selling rugs, edge problems, thrums and weaving instruction, followed by a notice about the Cripps shuttles and company advertising.
