Issue 5 of the Chicago monthly newsletter Warp and Weft, March 1948. It gives a cotton plaid project in 20/2 mercerized cotton with warp color rotation, reed setting, and threadings for a counter-balanced loom and a Norwood jack-type loom. A short history piece compares counter-balanced, sinking shed, and rising shed hand looms, with small diagrams. The rest is household hints, quotations, filler items, a Chicago Weavers Guild meeting notice, and studio advertisements for wool yarn and custom looms.
