Issue of the Canadian bulletin Master Weaver (Z-Handicrafts, Fulford, Quebec) dated May 1958. It opens with an essay on weaving faster and easier, arguing that professional 18th-century handweavers worked at high speed and that modern weavers suffer from poor equipment and instruction. The main article presents a method of weaving Summer-and-Winter with a tabby ground, with drafts for 4 and 8 shafts, yarn options, a place mat project, and notes on multi-block versions. The issue ends with a short Curiosity Shop note on one-tabby S-&-W on an 8-shaft damask threading and an essay on how exhibitions and juries should be run.
