Spring 1984 issue of The Weaver's Journal, with a rug theme that presents the winning and top entries from the journal's 1983 rug competition. Articles cover rag, flamepoint, meet-and-separate, clasped-weft, three-end and four-end block (summer and winter) and Landes-style tapestry rugs. A long feature by Clotilde Barrett explains shaft-switching, with sections on the devices of William Koepp and Richard Shultz and on tapestry effects. Other articles cover one-pot warp dyeing, a quilted counterpane study, Tarascan lace, the MasterWeaver cylinder loom, long-eyed heddles, the blanket weave, a raddle, and a kimono/pants ensemble. The issue also has fashion trends, book and product reviews, letters, and many advertisements.
