Fall 1983 issue of The Weaver's Journal, a quarterly for textile craftspeople, with a loose theme of lesser-known plant fibers. The main project is a year of twelve kitchen towels by Clotilde Barrett, one per month, each in a different four-shaft structure (spot Bronson, turned summer and winter, miniature overshot, point twill, Atwater-Bronson lace, huck lace, Monk's belt, M's and O's, crackle), with full drafts. Other articles cover a Chinese drawloom, handspun saddle blanket, computers for weavers (Part 3) with a name-draft program listing, rainbow dyeing, transparent weaving with handspun cotton, an onion basket, flame retardants, yarn counts, mothproofing wool, and plant fibers (hard and soft fibers, piña, ramie, with a multi-shaft huck lace shirt). The issue also has book reviews, product news, catalogs, classifieds and many advertisements.
