Issue No. 46 of Master Weaver, a bi-monthly bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. It contains the second part of a short history of handweaving technology, tracing looms from China, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome to the flying shuttle, Jacquard and the power loom. A Shortcuts column gives methods for beaming a warp without a helper and with reduced friction. Odd Weaves covers irregular huckaback lace, with drafts and a place-mat project. Turned Twills part 2 explains how to design matching tie-ups for 1:2 and 2:1 twills and the shaft and treadle limits for multi-block patterns. The issue ends with advertisements for a book service and a Warp Indicator.
