March 1956 issue of the Shuttle Craft Guild Handweaver's Bulletin (Portfolio edition), devoted entirely to damask weaving on the handloom. It explains damask as a satin weave with opposed weft-face and warp-face blocks, using circle diagrams to derive satin sequences. It gives drafts and tie-ups for five-shaft satin, ten-shaft two-block damask, four-shaft broken twill, and eight-shaft false-damask, with notes on extending to three blocks. It also covers linen sizes and warp settings, weft variations (colors, heavier wefts, metallics), and a project for table mats and napkins, with a photograph of two woven damask samples.
