Issue No. 10 (July 1953) of Master Weaver, a bi-monthly bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It opens with an essay on whether to treat handweaving as a craft or a business, then a long technical article on dropped weaves (dropped tabby and dropped twills, frame requirements, tie-ups, and weaving them with a pattern harness). It also covers why selvedges curve up, how to build and use a shed regulator for counterbalanced looms, patterns in double weaves (two-block pockets, stitching, colour effects), and a note on the term "Locked Weft". Many pages carry threading, tie-up and drawdown figures.
