April 1955 Portfolio Edition of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin. The main article describes a long experimental warp of 2/18 English-spun worsted, set at 30 ends per inch, used to sample about 70 four- and eight-harness fancy twills. It covers warping on a reel, threading, beat control, and a yard-an-hour weaving test, and gives twenty-four 8-harness tie-ups. The second article, the second in a series on understanding drafts, discusses confusing draft conventions, harness numbering, draft direction, and the requirements of a good thread-by-thread draft. A diagram sheet and a key to six mounted fabric samples with a yarn sample are included.
