A four-page issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions in which Colonel John S. Fishback reports on a Penland Craft Tour of weaving schools, studios and craft shops in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway. He describes the long training in Scandinavian weaving schools, a graduate's detailed sample notebooks, and the cooperation between craftsmen, architects and merchants. The issue ends with a draft for a four-shaft lace and plain stripe fabric sleyed unevenly for glass curtains or place mats, with threading, sleying, treadling and tie-up instructions using Lily 20/3 cotton.
