Volume I (1944) of Loom Music, a monthly Canadian handweaving bulletin written by Mary Sandin of Edmonton and Ethel Henderson of Winnipeg, containing twelve issues (January to December). Issues give complete project directions for four-harness looms, including a twill luncheon set, Whig Rose coverlet and table runners, baby blankets, a crackle weave drapery, twill upholstery and tweeds, a texture weave, towels, aprons, bath mats, an M's and O's luncheon set, cotton towels, and bags (including Dukagang). There are also instructional pieces on warping, setting up the loom, tie-ups, threading and drawing in, weaving troubleshooting, supply sources, a weavers' directory, and a report on the Banff School of Fine Arts 1944 course. Many pages carry threading drafts, tie-ups and treadling sequences, with a photograph plate of finished pieces.
