We take Overshot and add a layer of Log Cabin on top of the threading, so much fun!
We offer online weaving lessons suitable for all skill levels!
In this online weaving lesson you will learn:
• That all weaving can be a journey of discovery.
• How to start with a traditional Overshot motif and make it look more contemporary.
• How to overlay a colour and weave sequence.
• How to consider the Colour and Weave overlay as important as the float patterning.
• How to add solid bands to the design to aid division of space.
• How to weave with just 2 shuttles and achieve colour and weave plus texture.
• How to approach the sampling starting with D/L options on one treadling and then other treadlings.
• It creates a range of motifs which can be used in other pieces.
• That both sides are different yet so beautiful.
• I made my samplers into scarves and why not!
