Issue No. 6 of the small weaving newsletter Warp and Weft, edited by Mary F. Bottlemy. It opens with an editorial on American responsibility and gives a project for a four-harness, two-block summer and winter rug woven with chenille on a carpet warp set 12 to the inch. The rug has a 400-thread threading with repeat table, tie-up and treadling notes (tabby on treadles 1 & 3, blocks on 2 & 6 and 4 & 5). A further article lists what to check when buying a loom: sturdy parallel beams, a heavy adjustable beater, free-moving harnesses and long heddles, easy tie-ups, loom depth and front-hinged treadles. The last page advertises a Chicago weaving studio and custom-built looms.
