May 1973 issue of Warp & Weft, the monthly newsletter of Robin & Russ Handweavers in McMinnville, Oregon. It includes the editor's report on the new Oregon Trail Loom and on weaving conferences in Vancouver and Denver, reviews of two books titled Simple Weaving (by Marthann Alexander and Grete Kroncke), and the monthly sample, a 4-harness twill tartan called Raspberry and Pink Fizz. The sample has a tie-up for counterbalanced and jack looms, a threading draft, yarn details, a correction to the April tie-up, and a cost breakdown. The issue ends with an editorial urging weavers to experiment, classified ads for yarns and equipment, and a marketplace page.
