Overshot is perhaps the most iconic weaving technique--think antique coverlets and fancy table runners--yet many weavers are intimidated by its complex-looking structure. But it doesn"t have to be difficult! In this book, Susan Kesler-Simpson makes overshot approachable by breaking it down piece by piece so that the weaver understands how it works, and then she puts it all back together so that weavers will have the confidence to make their own overshot patterns or to try any of the 38 overshot projects she has designed for the book.

From heirloom coverlets to dazzling contemporary household textiles and garments, overshot is one of the most handsome of weave structures. Whether woven in miniature on a towel or large-scale in a rug, overshot is striking. In this video, Madelyn van der Hoogt teaches everything you need to know to explore the many faces of overshot.

Along with Madelyn’s video workshop, this video download gives you a printable booklet on overshot weaving, complete with planning exercises, reference materials, and overshot projects you can learn from and use. Instantly download your copy of Weaving Overshot today!

If you are like us, your dining room table doesn"t get a lot of use for dining. That doesn"t mean it shouldn"t look great when it"s not being used! This elegant overshot runner can show off your table but also do equally fine duty as a dresser scarf or accent anywhere you need a little color and pattern. The 8/2 Cottolin is sett at 20 epi in the warp and is also the tabby weft. The 100% wool Highland is the pattern weft. For the majority of the weaving, you will alternate picks of these two yarns, which creates a firm background fabric of cottolin with a three-dimensional pattern of Highland that decorates the surface. We made a point of picking two colors that were similar to each other to emphasize the difference in texture. The kit makes one table runner with finished dimensions of 19" x 44" plus fringe. It can be hand washed and air dried, with a brief tumble in the dryer to fluff the fabric.

Weave structures often have specific threading and treadling patterns that are unique to that particular weave structure and not shared with others. This book takes you out of the traditional method of weaving overshot patterns by using different treadling techniques. This will include weaving overshot patterns as Summer/Winter, Italian manner, starburst, crackle, and petit point just to name a few. The basic image is maintained in each example but the design takes on a whole new look!

Each chapter walks you through the setup for each method and includes projects with complete drafts and instructions so it’s easy to start weaving and watch the magic happen! Try the patterns for scarves, table runners, shawls, pillows and even some upholstered pieces. Once you"ve tried a few projects, you"ll be able to apply what you"ve learned to any piece you desire!
