Double issue (Vol. 63, Nos. 1 & 2, 1980) of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin. The main article, by Cynthia R. Cunningham Cort, analyzes pattern development in the silk and gold brocades of Banaras, India, in the 19th and 20th centuries, covering pit looms and Jacquard mechanisms, broché versus lancé patterning, and motif types (buti, mango, phulari, jhaldar mesh, animal and border designs) with plates. The second article, by Braham Norwick, examines the origins of knitted fabrics, drawing on classical and medieval sources, wire knitting in the Ardagh Chalice and other metalwork, and finds from Dura Europos. The issue also has notes on authors, book reviews, club notes, and advertisements.
