May 1949 issue of the Chicago-based monthly Warp & Weft, edited by Gladys Rogers Brophil. It reports on a handwoven textile exhibit in Chicago and a new weavers' guild in Vermont, and includes an article on English surnames derived from textile trades. The issue gives a three-harness pattern from a Norwegian pattern book (10/2 cotton, with threading, tie-up and treadling), advice on weaving place mats and napkins, and an introduction to four-harness twill weaves. It also has helpful hints, quotations, historical notes on Gobelin tapestry and pre-Columbian weaving, and an advertisement for summer weaving sessions.
