December 1953 issue of the Warp & Weft newsletter. The lead article reports on Dr. Hope Nicholson's talk about handweaving in central India: caste status of weavers, village horizontal looms, mission training schools, Niwar cotton tape, silk and Benares metallic brocades. The issue's sample is a "pseudo cotton tweed" dress fabric in 30/2 mercerized cotton, given with a four-shaft threading rotation, tie-up, weft rotation and treadling, plus notes on cotton for winter wear, yarn sources and prices, and the history and types of tweeds. It also has the Silas Says miscellany, a review of Nancy Andrews Reath's The Weaves of Hand Loom Fabrics, a Q&A on whitening yellowed silk, a poem and advertisements.
