Are you bored with (or by!) overshot? Do you LOVE overshot and want even more justification for putting yet another (even longer!) overshot warp on? Do you just want to learn more than a dozen new and cool ways to maximize your four shaft loom?
Our departure gate is a traditional overshot threading and our first stops are the most common variations on the overshot theme: closely related to standard overshot with just a little change here or a little change there.
Our route takes us through:
- Double tabby
- Shadow fashion
- Woven on opposites
- Double faced
- Echo fashion
- Italian fashion
- Flame point
- Swivel
- Petit Point
- Honeycomb
- As Bronson, with one or two shuttles
- As Summer & Winter, with one or two shuttles
