Winter 1986 issue of The Weaver's Journal, themed on clothing. It opens with Sigrid Piroch's step-by-step guide to complex weaves from four to sixteen harnesses, with many drafts, and Susan Mansfield's article on name drafts. Clothing articles cover styling handwovens (Anita Mayer), vadmal (fulled wool) and its finishing and closures, fine thread tapestry neckpieces, ribbon wefts, random warp steam dyeing, cannelé chenille, Dutch liturgical vestments and stoles, and Guatemalan dress. Color theory (visual mix, Irma Robinson), Philis Alvic's notes on marketing as a pattern weaver, and William Koepp's shed regulator for counterbalance looms are also included. The issue ends with the editors' page, letters, fashion trends, author notes, book reviews, calendar, study and travel listings, classifieds and advertisements.
