Issue No. 15 (May 1954) of Master Weaver, published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It opens with an editorial essay on what "modern" and "contemporary" mean in weaving, arguing that modern work should be better, not merely different, and warning against copying other modern weavings. The "From the Classics" section reprints Alexander Peddie's 1822 (Glasgow) instructions for boiling and cleansing linen yarn with pot ash and pearl ash, with a modern note on the proportions.
