January 1953 issue of Warp & Weft, a monthly handweaving bulletin issued with a fabric sample, marking the start of its sixth year. The sample is a red winter cotton dress fabric woven on a rosepath variation on four shafts with a doubled novelty pattern weft and tabby, with threading, tie-up, treadling, sett, yarn sources, beat, and dress pattern advice. Anna B. Rogers reports on a Chicago Weavers Guild study group's nine tabby and pattern-thread experiments on overshot, followed by instructions for the pattern-with-tabby technique. Shorter items include fashion notes, a book review of Tour & Shop, a poem, a national craft exhibition announcement, and supplier advertisements.
