January 1956 issue of Warp and Weft, a monthly handweaving newsletter from Robin & Russ Handweavers of Santa Barbara, California. It includes editor's notes, exhibition news, a profile of natural-dye spinner Floss O. Snedden, and a cover note on a Finn-weave piece. The main feature is the editor's original four-shaft draft 'Flecked Diamonds' for upholstery or drapery, with threading, tie-up, treadling, an overshot treadling alternative, yarn handling notes and cost per yard. It also has a review of 'America's Fabrics' by Bendure and Pfeiffer, plus ads for Wade looms and equipment, yarns and metallics.
