Issue No. 13 (January 1954) of Master Weaver, a bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It opens with an editorial essay, "Problems," criticizing rigidity and poor experimentation in texture weaving, vegetable dyeing and loom design, and urging weavers to learn more theory. Technical articles follow on turned lace for four frames, with tie-ups, profile drafts and a sample linen project, and on the two-harness method (ground and pattern harness) with draw-down instructions. The issue also has a Leclerc horizontal warping mill advertisement, an editor's note about forthcoming drafting lessons, and a reprinted passage on taste from John Murphy's Treatise on the Art of Weaving.
