School of Weaving's Overshot with Colour and Weave Episode Preview

Well, this episode was a ton of fun! Take a wonderful Overshot pattern designed by Bertha Gray Hayes, tweak the float length a teeny weeny bit, add a layer of Log Cabin on top of the overshot threading, and voila....you have Overshot that takes on an entirely new look. These scarves were all woven on a cotton warp with a wool/silk blend (Zephyr) for both the tabby and the pattern wefts. They were woven with just 2 shuttles, a light and a dark. We use double picks around a floating selvedge for our pattern weft and the weaving is fun, fast, and really easy.
