October 1983 issue of Warp & Weft, the monthly newsletter of Robin & Russ Handweavers in McMinnville, Oregon. It includes the editor's note on a buying trip to England, Scotland and Switzerland, a cover tapestry description (slit tapestry based on a plaited twill), and a four-shaft twill project called Twirler with tie-up, threading, treadling, a walking-motion tie-up and cost breakdown. Two book reviews cover Kate Peck Kent's Prehistoric Textiles of the Southwest and Pamela Nottingham's Bobbin Lace Making, followed by classified ads and yarn offerings.
