Principles of Classic Overshot

Overshot is a wonderfully logical system of threading and treadling that's perfect for the four-shaft loom. Although historic textiles show many divergences from classic overshot, learning the principles enables you to weave and design beautifully symmetrical patterns. Design keys, graphic representations showing the order and length of pattern blocks, make it easy to compare overshot drafts from any source to highlight their commonalities and differences. Projects include Holiday Star Towels, quick-to-weave chunky towels with Star of Bethlehem overshot, Primrose Plaid Place Mats, and Nine-Patch Place Mats.
