Issue No. 15 (May 1954) of Master Weaver, a bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It opens with an essay on what makes weaving truly modern, followed by a reprinted 1822 passage by Alexander Peddie on boiling and cleansing linen yarn. Technical articles cover colour arrangement in corduroy (weft pile), lifting plans, a two-harness method for crackle, summer-and-winter, swivel and embroidery weaves, a drafting lesson on how to make a draw-down, and waffle weaves. The issue also has an advertisement for weaving lessons and a description of the information service.
