April 1980 issue of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota newsletter, with guild announcements, board minutes, exhibition schedules, and workshop and lecture notices (Naomi Towner, Mary Pendleton's Navajo weaving, Collingwood workshops). Features include a profile of weaver Lynn Hazelton, a report with sales statistics from the 1979 Fiber Fair, and a travel account of the Sievers Textile School on Washington Island, Wisconsin. The Swatch Page begins Paul O'Connor's two-part article on Peter Collingwood's shaft-switching technique for weft-faced rugs, with drafts, a jack-loom modification using cup hooks and doups, and rug analysis. Also includes spinning and natural dyeing columns, school news, a bulletin board and a notice that the HGA Convergence '80 was cancelled.
