The twelve issues give complete project instructions with threading drafts, tie-ups, treadlings, yarn sizes, sett and finishing: luncheon sets in King pattern, Dalarna huck and crackle; Rosepath aprons; warp-face belts and stripes from Formosa; African weft-face rugs and a shoulder bag; "Cherished Linens" towels (M's and O's, Double Goose Eye, Barleycorn); an 8-harness summer and winter wall hanging; sectional warping; upholstery, drapery and children's clothing fabrics; texture weaves; an Italian brocade bag; and embroidered brocade towel borders. Each issue also carries notes on Canadian suppliers, books, correspondents' letters and the Banff School session, and the volume ends with an annual index.
