January 1956 issue of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin (Portfolio edition with woven linen samples), devoted to red and white checked linens. It gives seventeen check and plaid arrangements, from plain tabby squares, inlay dots and tartan-style plaids to Log Cabin, scrim, canvas weave, overshot squares, turned spot weave, Goose Eye and 8-harness texture checks, with drafts, tie-ups and treadling. It also covers linen yarn sizes, sett, cost per square yard, and care of red linen. Shorter pieces describe a sleying method for chained warps, discuss the terms set/sett and shot/pick, and include a Threadbender newsletter about weaving vacations.
