January 1971 issue of Warp & Weft, a monthly handweaving newsletter from Robin & Russ Handweavers in McMinnville, Oregon. It includes the editor's column on customs problems with imported silk and wool, and the first of a series of spinner Paula Simmons's articles on raising black sheep. The weaving feature is "The Birch Forest", a huck variation sample in linen and ramie on 4 shafts and 6 treadles, with tie-up, threading, special reed sleying, a 28-shot treadling, and thread and fabric costs. The issue ends with classified ads for supplies and books and a marketplace page.
