Issue 33 (Summer 1984) of The Weaver's Journal, a quarterly for textile craftspeople, which marks the change of ownership from Clotilde Barrett to Karen Searle and Suzanne Baizerman. Features include an explanation of how the Jacquard loom works, Sarakatsani cord and split-ply decoration from Greece, weaving the ancient Egyptian Girdle of Rameses on four or five shafts, a Telemark card-woven belt, shaft-switching with harness control on two-tie overshot-style block drafts, and production placemats in a Summer and Winter variant. Further articles cover a Smalands weave on eight shafts, a felted jacket in 5-shaft satin woven on opposites, a Beiderwand garment, a fashion trends column, and a children's class blanket project. Departments include letters, conference reports (Convergence '84, Midwest Weavers Conference), calendar, book reviews, products, classifieds, an annual index of volume VIII, and many advertisements.
