April 1978 issue of Warp & Weft, the monthly newsletter of Robin & Russ Handweavers in McMinnville, Oregon. The issue includes the editor's column on rising yarn costs and shop news, a sample project called 'Combo' that blends two miniature overshot patterns in 20/2 Egyptian cotton with a silk/polyester pattern weft (with threading, tie-up, and a 52-pick treadling sequence), a note on the cover photograph (a strip-woven piece in the West African manner), and a review of Venice Lamb's book West African Weaving. The last pages carry shop advertisements for yarns, tools, and books, a Jack Womersley summer workshop, and a weaving tour.
