Issue 30 (December 2001) of the Complex Weavers Medieval Textiles Study Group newsletter. It includes an article on Oriental carpets (yarns, dyes, looms, and their depiction in Italian paintings) and Carolyn Priest-Dorman's article on medieval figured linen weaves, with drafts for the Vatican Coptic huck, the Sluier van Maria, goose-eye and lozenge twills, and the shroud of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. It also starts a Weaver's Compendium project of about 83 documented weave structures, with sample photos and drafts, and has a Priest-Dorman update on Icelandic pile weaving, member sample data sheets (broken diamond twill from Coppergate, plaid, warp float pattern), upcoming events, and a call for calendar samples.
