A two-page September 1947 issue of Handweaving News in which Nellie Sargent Johnson explains the different ways of writing and reading threading drafts (figures, squares, X's, slanted lines, circles and notes) and of indicating tie-ups for jack and counterbalanced looms. It also lists Swedish weaving books for sale and gives a Swedish-English glossary of weaving terms, colors and materials for use with the Vavstolen books. A Sears Roebuck six-harness folding floor loom is also mentioned.
