A double issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club devoted to a single article by John F. Haskins on the Pazyrik kurgans (frozen tombs) of the Siberian Altai. It covers the excavations by Griaznov and Rudenko, the dating and the identity of the people buried there (Scythians, Massagetae, Ta Yueh-chih), and the preserved textiles of Kurgan Five. These include felt wall hangings with appliqu\u00e9s, felt saddle covers, linen and wool tapestries, Chinese silk with chain-stitch embroidery, and the pile carpet called the world's oldest. The issue has plates and line drawings, endnotes with Russian and Western references, club notes and a list of officers.
