Portfolio edition of the Shuttle Craft Bulletin for August-September 1957, the first issue under new owners Mary E. Black and Joyce Chown, who took over the Guild from Harriet Tidball. The main feature is Tidball's article on classical Summer and Winter weave, covering threading units, profile drafts, tie-ups, the eight-shot treadling sequence, needlepoint and cross-stitch textures, and coverlet examples with drafts. Other items are Joyce Chown's article on color inspiration from nature, Mary Black's directions for using odds and ends of linen in overshot-threaded towels and place mats, Boris Veren's book reviews (Atwater's Recipe Book and Black's New Key to Weaving), a 1929 Atwater essay on beauty, and a section of loom and yarn supplier advertisements.
