August 1952 issue (Portfolio Edition) of the Handweaver's Bulletin from the Shuttle Craft Guild, Virginia City, Montana. It opens a classification of handloom weaves, explaining why power-loom classifications don't suit handweavers, and sets out Classes I-III (plain, twill, twill derivative weaves such as overshot, hybrid and crackle). It also gives instructions for a supplemental-thread weave (used in a barbecue apron) with drafts for 2-, 4- and 6-shaft looms, and a loom-dressing article on comfortable heddle threading and dismantling various looms. The portfolio included a fabric sample and photographs of students threading looms.
