Issue no. 2 (October 1954) of Modern Weaver, a Canadian bulletin for handweavers published by Nilus Leclerc Inc. of L'Isletville, Quebec, with S.A. Zielinski as technical editor. It includes articles on achieving good selvedges (bobbin winding, warp tension, beating) and on the swivel weave, plus the start of a series on drafting that explains threading, tie-up and treadling. A glossary section (Angora through Batten and beyond) defines weaving terms, and there are sample drafts for 2-2 and 3-3 basket weave with warp, weft, sett and finishing details. The issue also has questions and answers on loom problems, a call for entries to the Canadian weaving exhibition in London, Ontario, a reed calculating table and advertisements for Clerco wool dressing and weaving lessons.
