Issue of a Canadian handweavers' bulletin published by Nilus Leclerc Inc. of L'Isletville, Quebec, with S.A. Zielinski as technical editor. It opens with a loom equipment advertisement for warping reels and mills, then an essay on texture weaving and a technical article on swivel-overshot (overshot without floats), with drafts and treadling sequences. A second lesson in reading and drawing down weaving drafts is included, along with a draft for a tabby linen tablecloth. The issue also reports on an exhibition of Canadian hand weaving in London, Ontario, listing patrons, judges and prize winners, and includes part of a weaving glossary (bight, binder, block, bobbin, bobbin rack) with a bibliography. It ends with an advertisement for weaving lessons at Z-Handicrafts, Fulford, Quebec.
