Volume 5 of Loomcraft, a quarterly handweaving magazine compiled by Olive M. Scarfe in Guernsey, bound here as twelve issues from Spring 1968 to Winter 1971. Each issue gives project instructions for four-shaft looms using mercerised cotton, wool and gimp yarns, with threading drafts, shaft and pedal lift tables, yardage and amounts, and making-up directions. Projects include cravats, toilet bags, aprons, place mats, napkins, towels, ponchos, skirts, stoles, cushion covers and bookmarkers. Weave structures include overshot, Rosepath, Huck, Log Cabin, Monk's Belt, double weave and Linen Weave. The issues also carry editorial letters, yarn and reed news with prices, reader contributions and hints such as home-made spools.
