sett for overshot pricelist
You may remember that I recently returned from a visit to The Philippines. It may not surprise you that I am always on the lookout for interesting textiles, and especially handwoven fabrics. I don’t mean to do that; it just happens… Well, when I met sweet Beth at the Sunday market, I felt like I hit the jackpot! Beth and I had a common language – Handweaving! (She speaks fine English, too, of course; but you know what I mean.)
If you don’t have time to look at all the textile pictures today, at least scroll down and see my little granddaughter carrying her big umbrella on the way to the market. Umbrellas are always in season in Metropolitan Manila. For the rain in the rainy season (our visit), and for shielding your skin from the sun all the rest of the time. (You can always come back later and finish looking at the rest of the pictures. Smile.)
I was recently weaving an overshot pattern that used 10/2 cotton for the warp/ground weft and 5/2 cotton for the pattern weft. I also have a few cones of 3/2 cotton, but I didn’t know if they’d be too big compared with the 10/2. I have a large collection of 8/2 yarn as well, would the 5/2 yarn be better suited as a pattern weft for a project that uses 8/2 for the warp/ground instead? Are there any guidelines about what size yarns work best as the pattern weft for overshot versus the warp/ground weft?
Too many variables (the yarns, the specific overshot draft, and the desired hand of the fabric) are involved to give a single rule of thumb for pattern-weft size vs ground warp and weft size in overshot. Probably the most common yarns/setts for contemporary overshot fabrics are 10/2 cotton for warp and tabby weft at 24 epi and either 5/2 pearl cotton or 3/2 pearl cotton for the pattern weft. The fabrics woven with these yarns/setts are usually sturdy fabrics in a weight suitable for placemats and towels. 3/2 pearl cotton would also work (and not be too heavy) for the draft you’re using with 5/2 cotton, unless the pattern-weft floats are very short (this would be for a delicate design, usually looking very twill-like). In that case, the 3/2 pearl cotton weft would not pack in well enough and you’d see streaks of the tabby weft between pattern picks. By the same token, if your overshot design has long pattern-weft floats with large blocks of pattern, a 5/2 pearl cotton pattern weft is likely to be too thin to cover the blocks; in that case, you’d also see streaks of the tabby weft between pattern picks.
Wool pattern wefts have the capacity to full to cover the blocks with wet-finishing, so their size can vary depending on the nature of the wool. With 10/2 pearl cotton warp and tabby weft, I like using Harrisville Shetland (its heathered colors add to the effectiveness of an overshot design) or other 8/2 wools. These fabrics (cotton ground cloth, wool pattern weft) are also usually sturdy, with a hand similar to colonial coverlets. If a soft fabric is desired, as for a shawl or scarf, wool, wool/silk, or silk would be good choices for warp and tabby weft. For a soft overshot fabric in all wool, the sett should be as for plain weave, but open enough that the wool threads have room to swell with fulling. For a wool pattern weft to show well on a wool ground cloth, it should be two to three times as heavy as the ground warp and weft. I’d follow that principle for silk, too: Sett the warp as for plain weave and choose a weft two to three times as heavy as the the ground yarns.
8/2 cotton is usually sett at 20 ends per inch for plain weave. 3/2 pearl cotton would be a good size for the patten weft, but it is mercerized whereas the 8/2 cotton is not. The contrast between the sheen of the pearl cotton and the matte finish of the 8/2 cotton might work well, or might not. You’d have to sample to see. Another option is to use the 8/2 cotton doubled for a pattern weft.
Although I know that traditionally overshot was used for coverlets, I have an idea for a shawl. I"m willing to sample, but I"m not sure where to start. I would like to weave it using 18/2 wool/silk as warp and tabby weft. Can I use that yarn doubled for my pattern weft? Normally with this yarn, I use a sett of 24 or 26 ends per inch for plain weave. If I use 24 epi, will I be in the ballpark to weave a lovely drapey shawl? I don"t want it to be too stiff so perhaps I should start with a looser sett?
Overshot drafts presume a 50/50 plain-weave ground cloth. Since the tabby weft creates that cloth and alternates with a pattern weft, if you sett your 18/2 wool/silk at 24 ends per inch and follow an overshot treadling draft from a specific source, the picks per inch should be double the number of warp threads per inch (I.e., 48) to produce the intended results. (Treadling drafts usually give the number of pattern picks that create square motifs--as wide as they are tall--if the weft sett is twice as many picks per inch as warp threads per inch.)
Most traditional overshot fabrics, as you say, are firmly woven utility fabrics, such as bedspreads or table runners, and you want something soft and drapable. A check of the
Be sure to put on extra warp for sampling to see what number of picks works well to create symmetrical motifs (and wash the sample to check the size and look of the finished motifs). I would sample on the complete threading (warping the loom at 20 ends per inch). If the washed sample proves too loose in both warp and weft directions, I’d then re-sley to 24 ends per inch. The shawl would then be slightly narrower, but it is always better to sample on the actual width of an intended piece to accurately judge the result.
I LOVE double-bobbin boat shuttles when I’m doubling the weft. You have to get used to “throwing” the shuttle when you use it; it only works if the unwinding bobbin jerks on both weft threads enough to turn them both smoothly at the selvedges. Doubling the weft on a single bobbin always requires adjusting the two lengths at the selvedge unless you ply them on a spinning wheel first. (I like them not plied better, anyway, for covering the blocks. They will tend to lie side by side like a ribbon.)
"Thank you, Kelly, for providing this RHL Overshot Class. Because of all your videos, I have gone from newbie to being able to produce this beautiful scarf! I learned how to read a four shaft pattern draft and from that, warp and thread my loom. I learned how to manage more than one heddle and handle different combinations of them. It was also helpful to learn about floating selvedges. I will never do another project without them."
"I love learning new techniques. This was a fun one to learn. I appreciate your step-by-step instructions to help get me a solid foundation to start. I look forward to trying my hand at this beautiful scarf!"

Concepts for a Falcon Heavy launch vehicle using three Falcon 1 core boosters, with an approximate payload-to-LEO capacity of two tons,Falcon 9 was referred to in 2005 as the Falcon 9 Heavy.
SpaceX unveiled the plan for the Falcon Heavy to the public at a Washington, D.C. news conference in April 2011, with initial test flight expected in 2013.
A number of factors delayed the planned maiden flight by five years to 2018, including two anomalies with Falcon 9 launch vehicles, which required all engineering resources to be dedicated to failure analysis, halting flight operations for many months. The integration and structural challenges of combining three Falcon 9 cores were much more difficult than expected.
The initial test flight for a Falcon Heavy lifted off on 6 February 2018, at 20:45 UTC, carrying its dummy payload, Elon Musk"s personal Tesla Roadster, beyond Mars orbit.
Musk mentioned Falcon Heavy in a September 2005 news update, referring to a customer request from 18 months prior.Falcon 5 (which was never flown) had been explored, but the only cost-effective, reliable iteration was one that used a 9-engine first stage — the Falcon 9. The Falcon Heavy was developed with private capital with Musk stating that the cost was more than US$500 million. No government financing was provided for its development.
The Falcon Heavy design is based on Falcon 9"s fuselage and engines. By 2008, SpaceX had been aiming for the first launch of Falcon 9 in 2009, while "Falcon 9 Heavy would be in a couple of years". Speaking at the 2008 Mars Society Conference, Musk also indicated that he expected a hydrogen-fueled upper stage would follow two to three years later (which would have been around 2013).
By April 2011, the capabilities and performance of the Falcon 9 vehicle were better understood, SpaceX having completed two successful demonstration missions to low Earth orbit (LEO), one of which included reignition of the second-stage engine. At a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on 5 April 2011, Musk stated that Falcon Heavy would "carry more payload to orbit or escape velocity than any vehicle in history, apart from the Saturn V Moon rocket ... and Soviet Energia rocket".
In 2015, SpaceX announced a number of changes to the Falcon Heavy rocket, worked in parallel to the upgrade of the Falcon 9 v1.1 launch vehicle.Hawthorne, California.
In April 2011, Musk was planning for a first launch of Falcon Heavy from Vandenberg Air Force Base on the West Coast in 2013.Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg AFB to accommodate Falcon 9 and Heavy. The first launch from the Cape Canaveral East Coast launch complex was planned for late 2013 or 2014.
At a July 2017 meeting of the International Space Station Research and Development meeting in Washington, D.C., Musk downplayed expectations for the success of the maiden flight:
Initially, Elon Musk tweeted that the Roadster had overshot its planned heliocentric orbit, and would reach the asteroid belt. Later, observations by telescopes showed that the Roadster would only slightly exceed the orbit of Mars at aphelion.
A year after the successful demo flight, SpaceX had signed five commercial contracts worth US$500–750 million, meaning that it had managed to cover the development cost of the rocket.Arabsat-6A, with all three boosters landing successfully for the first time.
The third flight occurred on 25 June 2019, launching the STP-2 (DoD Space Test Program) payload.Geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) missions for Intelsat and Inmarsat, which were planned for late 2017, were moved to the Falcon 9 Full Thrust rocket version as it had become powerful enough to lift those heavy payloads in its expendable configuration.U.S. Space Force certified Falcon Heavy for launching its top secret satellites, with the first such launch being USSF-44 which happened at 1 November 2022;
Falcon Heavy consists of a structurally strengthened Falcon 9 as the "core" component, with two additional Falcon 9 first stages with aerodynamic nose–cones mounted outboard serving as strap-on boosters,Delta IV Heavy launcher and proposals for the Atlas V Heavy and Russian Angara A5V. This triple first stage carries a standard Falcon 9 second stage, which in turn carries the payload in a fairing. Falcon Heavy has more lift capability than any other operational rocket, with a payload of 63,800 kg (140,700 lb) to low Earth orbit, 26,700 kg (58,900 lb) to Geostationary Transfer Orbit, and 16,800 kg (37,000 lb) to trans-Mars injection.
All three cores of the Falcon Heavy arrange the engines in a structural form SpaceX calls Octaweb, aimed at streamlining the manufacturing process,grid fins at the top of each of the three Falcon 9 boosters, which extend after separation.Earth, followed by the landing legs. Each booster lands softly on the ground in fully reusable launch configuration. The two side boosters land on different drone ships in partial reusable configuration. The center core continues to fire until stage separation. In fully reusable launches, its grid fins and legs deploy and the center core touches down either back on land or on a drone ship. If the stages are expended, then the landing legs and grid fins are omitted from the vehicle. The landing legs are made of carbon fiber with aluminum honeycomb structure. The four legs stow along the sides of each core during liftoff and extend outward and down just before landing.
The Falcon Heavy uses a 4.5 m (15 ft) interstage attached to the first stage core.composite structure consisting of an aluminum honeycomb core surrounded by a carbon fiber face sheet plies. Unlike for Falcon 9, the black thermal protection layer on the interstage of Block 5 center core boosters is later painted white, as seen in the Falcon Heavy flights so far, probably due to asthetics of Falcon Heavy Logo, providing it a greyish look.Venus or Mars.
The Falcon Heavy includes first-stage recovery systems, to allow SpaceX to return the first stage boosters to the launch site as well as recover the first stage core following landing at an Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship barge after completion of primary mission requirements. These systems include four deployable landing legs, which are locked against each first-stage tank core during ascent and deploy just prior to touchdown. Excess propellant reserved for Falcon Heavy first-stage recovery operations will be diverted for use on the primary mission objective, if required, ensuring sufficient performance margins for successful missions. The nominal payload capacity to a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) is 8 t (18,000 lb) with recovery of all three first-stage cores (the price per launch is US$97 million), versus 26.7 t (59,000 lb) in fully expendable mode. The Falcon Heavy can also inject a 16 t (35,000 lb) payload into GTO if only the two side boosters are recovered.
In April 2017, the projected LEO payload for Falcon Heavy was raised from 54.4 to 63.8 t (120,000 to 141,000 lb). The maximum payload is achieved when the rocket flies a fully expendable launch profile, not recovering any of the three first-stage boosters.
From 2013 to 2016, SpaceX conducted parallel development of a reusable rocket architecture for Falcon 9, that applies to parts of Falcon Heavy as well. Early on, SpaceX had expressed hopes that all rocket stages would eventually be reusable.Falcon 9 first stage, and have successfully recovered multiple payload fairings.
Falcon Heavy payload performance to geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) is reduced by the reusable technology, but at a much lower price. When recovering all three booster cores, GTO payload is 8 t (18,000 lb).
The Planetary Society was concerned that launching a non-sterile object (as was done on the Falcon Heavy Test Flight) to interplanetary space may risk biological contamination of a foreign world.Purdue University thought it was the "dirtiest" man-made object ever sent into space, in terms of bacteria amount, noting the car was previously driven on Los Angeles freeways. Although the vehicle will be sterilized by solar radiation over time, some bacteria might survive on pieces of plastic which could contaminate Mars in the distant future.
At an appearance in May 2004 before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Musk testified, "Long term plans call for development of a heavy lift product and even a super-heavy, if there is customer demand. We expect that each size increase would result in a meaningful decrease in cost per pound to orbit. ... Ultimately, I believe US$500 per pound or less is very achievable".LEO-capable launch system in a 2001 study: the Zenit, a medium-lift launch vehicle that could carry 14 t (31,000 lb) into LEO for US$35–50 million.low Earth orbit could be as low as $2,200/kg ($1,000/lb) if an annual rate of four launches can be sustained, and as of 2011 planned to eventually launch as many as 10 Falcon Heavies and 10 Falcon 9s annually.
The published prices for Falcon Heavy launches have changed as development progressed, with announced prices for the various versions of Falcon Heavy priced at US$80–125 million in 2011,GTO in 2014, US$90 million for up to 8 t (18,000 lb) to GTO in 2016.
From 2017 to early 2022, the price has been stated at US$150 million for 63.8 t (141,000 lb) to LEO or 26.7 t (59,000 lb) to GTO (fully expendable).Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on a Falcon Heavy for approximately $255 million, including launch service and other mission related costs.
Due to improvements to the performance of Falcon 9, some of the heavier satellites flown to GTO, such as Intelsat 35eInmarsat-5 F4,Arabsat-6A was successfully launched on 11 April 2019, a year and two months after the first flight. SpaceX hoped to have 10 launches every year from 2021 on,

The second stage featured a gray band due to its long coast phase between subsequent burns, to allow more heat from sunlight to be absorbed to warm the RP-1 kerosene tank during the longer coasting period, a first for FH and third for any Falcon rocket. When it gets too cold, kerosene – which freezes at a much higher temperature than Falcon’s liquid oxygen oxidizer – becomes viscous and slush-like before it freezes solid. If ingested, slushy fuel would likely prevent ignition or destroy the upper stage’s Merlin engine.

The 2nd stage had a gray band for thermal purposes as the mission requirements are similar to the USSF-44 mission.
Europa Clipper will conduct a detailed survey of Europa and use a sophisticated suite of science instruments to investigate whether the icy moon has conditions suitable for life. Key mission objectives are to produce high-resolution images of Europa"s surface, determine its composition, look for signs of recent or ongoing geological activity, measure the thickness of the moon"s icy shell, search for subsurface lakes, and determine the depth and salinity of Europa"s ocean. The mission will fly past Mars and Earth before arriving at Jupiter in April 2030.
In March 2020, NASA announced its first contract for the Gateway Logistics Services that guarantees at least two launches on a new Dragon XL resupply spacecraft on top of a Falcon Heavy that will carry over 5 t (11,000 lb) of cargo to the Lunar orbit on 6–12 months long missions.

In December 2012, SpaceX announced its first Falcon Heavy launch contract with the United States Department of Defense (DoD). The United States Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center awarded SpaceX two Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV)-class missions, including the Space Test Program 2 (STP-2) mission for Falcon Heavy, originally scheduled to be launched in March 2017,
In April 2015, SpaceX sent the U.S. Air Force an updated letter of intent outlining a certification process for its Falcon Heavy rocket to launch national security satellites. The process includes three successful flights of the Falcon Heavy including two consecutive successful flights, and the letter stated that Falcon Heavy can be ready to fly national security payloads by 2017.Block 5 variant, a further delay to October 2018 was announced, and the launch was eventually pushed back to 25 June 2019.
The Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM) was a payload; it is a project partly developed by the U.S. Air Force to demonstrate a less-toxic propellant.
In 2011, NASA Ames Research Center proposed a Mars mission called Red Dragon that would use a Falcon Heavy as the launch vehicle and trans-Martian injection vehicle, and a variant of the Dragon capsule to enter the Martian atmosphere. The proposed science objectives were to detect biosignatures and to drill 1 m (3.3 ft) or so underground, in an effort to sample reservoirs of water ice known to exist under the surface.

Falcon Heavy is the launch vehicle for the initial modules of the Lunar Gateway: Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO).
Europa Clipper was initially targeted to be launched on an SLS rocket. However, due to extensive delays, in 2021 NASA awarded the launch contract to SpaceX for a fully expendable Falcon Heavy.

The company issued a revised price list for Mumbai, UP, Delhi, Hyderabad and Kolkata markets Friday. The hike will not be implemented in its home state of Gujarat.
The hike varies from Rs 1-3 on packs ranging from 500 ml to 1 litre. Popular variants including Amul"s toned, cow milk and full cream milk are affected. A 500 ml pouch of Amul Gold (full cream) will cost Rs 33 as against Rs 32, while the 1 litre pack is priced Rs 66 over Rs 63 earlier. A 500 ml pouch of cow milk will cost Rs 28 over Rs 27 while the 1 litre pack will come for Rs 56 as compared to Rs 53. The regular teatime variant Amul Taaza goes up from Rs 26 to Rs 27 for half litre and Rs 54 from Rs 51 for 1 litre.
Amul"s new managing director Jayen Mehta, who took over from outgoing MD R S Sodhi in January, said the company had been forced to undertake price revisions. "Well, I am a consumer too so I understand (public sentiment). But we as a cooperative are grappling with the high cost of feed, cattle fodder, labour and fuel. We are paying dairy farmers a higher remunerative price to sustain their interest in the business. We have to keep producers happy. And our price revision is always lower than the general rate of food inflation." However, food inflation is soaring in recent years so Amul"s price hikes pale in comparison.
Mehta said that Amul last undertook a price revision across variants in August 2022 and before that in March 2022. "Both times the revision was Rs 2 per litre so it is not as high as it is perceived to be. This time too, the increase is just one rupee on the 500 ml pouch. The rate of the 1 litre pack has been brought on par. Ours is a cooperative so there is no profit motive," he said.
Mehta said, "We did not even raise our rates in December 2022 when Mother Dairy did so and overshot our price. But for how long can we keep selling cheaper than others. We had some catching up to do. We had not effected any hike during Covid when markets were closed. But now markets have opened."
Consumers as well as Amul"s retailers voiced upset. A vendor in Andheri said, "Our margins have remained the same in actual terms for years. The company does not pay us in percentage. So despite the consumer paying more with every price revision, the seller continues to get a paltry sum per litre."
Before any stripping down takes place, Lunaz says it consults with the owner of the vehicle in order to set the visual direction of the build. That can include faithfully returning the look of the car to how it was when it originally left Solihull, Crewe or Newport Pagnell, or turning it into something with a few more contemporary and modern touches — known in the industry as a “restomod”.
Owners can, for instance, discard animal-based materials in the interior, opting instead for carpets and seats made from recycled plastics to closely mimic the characteristics of lambswool and leather.
The new powertrain potentially allows the Bentley to sprint to 62mph in 6.9 seconds, but, as performance has increased, so too have other under-the-skin aspects of the Continental.
The car in question was originally delivered as a rolling chassis to one Melvyn Rollason of Ludstone Hall in Shropshire and dispatched to James Young of Bromley for bodying.
Rollason sold the two-door in 1967, and since then the car has travelled widely, having been kept by owners in Germany and Japan before returning to England.
