Today, I have another episode all about creating your own overshot variations – this time, we’re using color, which is my favorite!
The beauty of weaving lies in the fact that we have not one, but two sets of colors to play with. And even after the warp yarns are set, you still have so much freedom to get creative with the weft.
In today’s episode, I’m giving you examples of how color can make a difference and showing you my recent playtime with color in an overshot pattern. Hopefully, you will find a bit of excitement and create your own overshot variation using color! Happy Weaving!
Show Notes –
Overshot and the Smithsonion – Apparently, there is a National Woven Coverlet Collection at the Smithsonion! How cool is that? I found their page all about it and am excited to share it with you. The history and background is really fascinating. Click right here to take it all in.
Overshot Variations (using treadling) – Last week, I started our series with an episode where I play with the treadling in order to create my own unique version of overshot. Just in case you missed it, I have it at the ready! This link will take you there.
