Issue No. 2 (February 1952) of Master Weaver, a bi-monthly bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It has articles on analysing fabrics by draw-down (finding the threading, tie-up and treadling from a sample), on technical perfection in handweaving, and on single spot weaves, including lace, huck-on-spot, single-face and turned floats. It also gives 31 Scottish pattern twill drafts for 5 to 16 shafts adapted from John Murphy's 1833 book, notes on colours in summer-and-winter, and notes on terminology (honeycomb, waffle and hålkrus; dornick twill and dornick weave). It ends with the rules of the magazine's information service.
