First issue (October 1954) of Modern Weaver, a bulletin for handweavers published in Quebec by Nilus Leclerc Inc. with S.A. Zielinski as technical editor. It includes an article on handling single linen through warping, beaming, threading, loom adjustment and weaving faults, and an article on locked (clasped) wefts for free-form color patterns. It also has a section of the revised Encyclopedia of Hand-Weaving with terminology notes, glossary entries and a start on fabric analysis, plus a spot-weave draft for linen-room fabric. A shed regulator article for counterbalanced looms, a question box, and advertising for Leclerc supplies and Z-Handicrafts weaving lessons round out the issue.
