Overshot Harness Loom Class
Overshot, a block style fabric, is a go to weave structure for many weavers. It is a style that has been popular in North America since the turn of the 19th century mainly for the creation of coverlets. Now overshot is used for a variety of fabrics and is such a fun way to explore and create patterns on a four harness loom! In class students will learn how to read and create overshot patterns as well as set up to weave either a sampler, hot pads or a narrow runner.
Supplies:
4 harness loom (it is possible we have a loom at the shop you can rent- please inquire if you need a loom)
2 boat shuttles
2 (or more) bobbins
10 dent reed
Paper or corrugated cardboard for winding onto the loom
Reed hook
Small warping board (if you have one not required)
