Overshot has long been a favorite of weavers from around the world, but it holds a special place in the history of the Americas where it was a favorite of Colonial coverlet weavers, found a reemergence in popularity thanks in part to the miniature patterns of Bertha Gray Hayes, and remains beloved by many weavers today. In our latest eBook we celebrate both traditional overshot and modern interpretations of this beloved structure with 10 four-shaft projects and 3 bonus articles. Taken from past issues of Handwoven, this collection represents the best overshot projects from the past 10 years.
