December 1956 issue of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin (Portfolio edition). It describes a fine 30/2 mercerized cotton yardage warp in subtle stripes, sectionally beamed at 45 ends per inch, with a six-harness threading (and four-harness alternate) in overshot opposites, tie-up, weft ideas, and a discussion of warp breakage, shuttle handling and a supplementary self-tensioned red selvage. A second article covers casement curtains woven loosely on the same warp with black linen weft. The remainder is the editor's letter and announcements on back-issue sales, STYLES sheets, gift items, and the Guild's move to San Francisco and the new SHUTTLE CRAFT publication, followed by notes on the two mounted fabric samples.
