My first Overshot Project

August 4, 2015

I'm happy with the design and the colors.  I designed it for a baby blanket so I wanted the strong primary color stripes to remind one of a box of crayons.  The backside is purple, green and yellow.  I used Cottolin for the warp and cotton for the weft.  It is super soft and washer/dryer friendly.

The pattern is an historic pattern developed by Bertha Hayes and named Gallinger Gem.  My first multi shaft loom was an antique designed by Osma Gallinger, so I have a little personal connection to her.  

I can't wait to try more designs in overshot.  I'm thinking of a series of placemats and table runners using the same colors and yarns but focusing on different overshot patterns.
