December 1952 portfolio issue of the Shuttle Craft Guild's Handweaver's Bulletin, devoted to fancy twills as texture weaves. It explains how to read full-draft diagrams of fancy twills and convert them to threading, tie-up and treadling, then classifies straight twills (normal diagonal, shaded, spotted, reclining, steep, crepe twills) with long lists of treadle tie-ups for 4, 6 and 8 harnesses. It also gives directions for a double-faced fancy twill afghan on 8 harnesses, with original and revised tie-ups, notes on the sample swatches in the portfolio (including a color-fastness warning), a list of weaving suppliers, and a critique of a loom advertisement's claims about warp waste.
