An October 1940 issue of a handweaving newsletter in which Nellie Sargent Johnson reports on her summer travels. She describes WPA Federal Arts Project tapestries and curtain and upholstery fabrics at the New York World's Fair, plus glass curtain and laid-in drapery pieces in the Finnish building. She also covers the Society of Connecticut Craftsmen sale and its jury questions on standards and originality, and the National Conference of Handicrafts at Penland, N.C. Short notices follow on loom plans, Bergman looms, regional craft groups, and an 8-harness threading idea. Sketches show a plaid warp arrangement, a rose-path threading, a glass curtain weave and a laid-in tree design.
