This double issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club is devoted almost entirely to an English translation of a Russian technical study of textiles from the Noin-Ula burial mounds in Mongolia, excavated by P. K. Kozlov in 1924-25. It covers methods of microscopic, chemical and photographic analysis, silk fabrics, a large felt-appliqué and tapestry-weave carpet, and woolen fabrics. The analyses give yarn thickness, twist, strength, elasticity, dyes (including madder), thread counts and weaves, with plates, micrographs and graphs. A closing note by Eleanor B. Sachs describes the weaves of related silk fabrics in the Pennsylvania Museum of Art, and Club Notes and a list of officers follow.
