Issue No. 22 (July 1955) of Master Weaver, a bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts of Fulford, Quebec. It opens with an essay on colour and design, arguing that creative weaving requires knowledge of the craft, and a short 1844 quotation from Clinton G. Gilroy. The technical sections explain transcribing four- and five-frame drafts onto eight frames (Bronson, summer and winter, rep, diamond twill, waffle), give a chart of basic eight-frame tie-ups A to W, and present Lesson 9 on drafting from profiles using units of weaves such as summer and winter, huckaback, Bronson lace, dimity, dornick and damask. The last page advertises individual weaving lessons at Z-Handicrafts.
