April 1953 issue of the monthly handweaving newsletter Warp & Weft, edited by Gladys Rogers Brophil. The main project is a corded lace carriage cover (baby robe) woven in carriage cover tweed, with tie-up, threading for two warp beam sections, treadling, sleying in an 8-dent reed, and notes on leno decoration, edge finishing and size. Other items cover weaving for wearing (capes, fringed fabrics, striped and satin-weave imports, stoles), a book review of The Weaver by Harold E. Dye, Silas Says historical notes, a Q&A on wool labelling terms, three weaving poems, and workshop and supplier advertisements. The front page carries guild news and an obituary note for Marguerite Porter Davison.
