May 1969 issue of Warp & Weft, the monthly newsletter of Robin & Russ Handweavers in McMinnville, Oregon. It includes the editor's column about an upcoming trip to Switzerland and Northern Italy to look for silks, a cover photograph note on pillows from the St. Louis Weavers Guild display, and a long review of Peter Collingwood's The Techniques of Rug Weaving. The sample article, "Tempting, Touchable Tussah," gives a 4-shaft threading draft, tie-up, special reed sleying, treadling and weaving advice for a textured silk fabric using slubby tussah and douppioni silk. The issue closes with classified ads and marketplace ads for yarns, looms, books and equipment.
