Modern Weaver, Vol. 1, No. 4 (April 1955)
April 1955 issue of Modern Weaver, a bulletin for handweavers published by Nilus Leclerc Inc. of L'Isletville, Quebec. It presents the Leclerc "Nilus" four-harness jack-type loom and a horizontal warping mill, then offers technical articles: one on weaving huckaback lace on a counterbalanced loom, a third installment of "Drafting" on finding treadling and squaring patterns ("woven as drawn in"), and the start of "Efficiency in Handweaving" covering planning, yarn selection, warping and threading. The issue also has a tabby weaving draft with warp and weft specifications, a table of Canadian and US yarn sources by fiber type, glossary entries (Bolting Cloth to Burling) with brake diagrams and twill and brocading diagrams, and advertisements for weaving lessons, yarns and looms.
