Issue No. 5 (August 1952) of Master Weaver, a bi-monthly bulletin for handweavers published by Z-Handicrafts in Fulford, Quebec. The lead article compares loom types (single and double tie-up jack looms, counterbalanced, draw-looms, two-harness, fly-shuttle, frame and table looms) and argues for matching the loom to the weaving. Other articles cover swivel effect woven on overshot threadings, 8-frame overshot drafts on opposites, the meaning of "two-harness method", and the use of colour in tabby, basket and twill weaves with drawdowns. A reprinted excerpt from Clinton G. Gilroy (1844) on striking up the weft, errata for issue 4, and an advertisement for an Encyclopedia of Hand-Weaving are also included.
