A biographical profile by Kate Foreman of Florence Titus, a Minnesota rug weaver who began weaving rag rugs in 1916 at age 15 on a $32 two-harness Montgomery Ward loom. It covers her materials, pricing, trademark inlaid end borders, weft choices, knotting, wide carpets and stair runners, and her later years. The second page carries the article's end plus unrelated guild newsletter items: a report on the Midwest Weavers Conference and the end of a studio tour notice.

A one-page column from the spinning series "As the Wheel Turns" in Minnesota Weaver, on realistic expectations when preparing and buying fleece. Kate Foreman reports advice from St. Peter Woolen Mill on sending wool for custom carding: be explicit in instructions, keep lots separate, remove chaff and burrs beforehand, and scour on the dry side. It also covers buying skirted versus unskirted fleeces and how price affects the choice.
