An article on twentieth-century revival of Polish traditional weaving, centered on the reversible double-warp wool rugs of the Bialystok peasant looms directed by Eleanora Plutynska and the kilim-style tapestries of Helena and Stefan Galkowski at the State Textile Institute Wanda. It covers the regional peasant textiles of Poland, the symbolism and technique of the rugs, the effects of World War II, and the philosophy of designing directly on the loom. Photographs show rugs, tapestries and a weaver at an upright loom.

A profile of New York weaver and teacher Edith Huntington Snow, written for the first issue of Handweaver & Craftsman. It traces her path from weaving as convalescent therapy to founding the Snow Abbott Looms, later the Snow Looms, and describes her teaching, her materials and her design philosophy. Most of the text describes her fine linen table sets, runners, lunch cloths and silk and wool fabrics, with notes on yarns, thread counts, colors and looms. The illustrations are photographs of her work and a line drawing of an Alaskan Eskimo boot design; there are no weaving drafts.
