Overshot Collection
From $10.00
This group of patterns is based on overshot weaving drafts. Overshot is a weaving technique that uses two different weft threads, traditionally wool for the pattern thread and cotton for the plain weave or “tabby”, alternating every row allowing for the pattern thread to have longer floats without losing structure. Overshot, like many old craft techniques does not have an exact historical origin. It became popular in the early 1800’s in North America for use as patterns for coverlets.
