Two pages from Master Weaver, No. 7, January 1953. The first page ends an article on a weaving project with a threading draft (Fig. 7) for a grey tabby ground with blue and navy pattern floats, giving treadling, a border crossing, and notes on take-up and a fourth frame on counterbalanced looms. The 'Weaving Terminology' section prints Mary M. Atwater's remarks on confusing weave names (semi-damask, lace weave, Bronson, finger weaving) and on where she got the names summer and winter, crackle and shadow weave. A new article, 'Pattern Harness and How To Make It', begins at the end, discussing the limits of block patterns and the draw-loom.
