Issue No. 12 (November 1953) of Master Weaver, a bi-monthly bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It opens with an editor's note and an article on Cannelé, a distorted-warp weave in which short warp floats pull a pattern weft into diagonal diamond-shaped floats, with drafts, tie-ups and yarn suggestions. A long article, "Skill in Handweaving", covers efficient practice: planning, warping methods, threading, tying-in, loom selection, and the rhythm of throwing, beating and shed changing. The second part of construction directions for a double tie-up loom lists materials and describes the frames, levers, lamms, treadles and tie-up. The issue ends with an index of articles in issues 1 to 12.
