Here's the video to learn everything about overshot weaving! This is actually the first video of a 3-part series in which I will be talking about overshot. This first video is all about the technique. I also give out some tips that help me with weaving overshot. The second and the third videos of the series will be about the actual weaving of two different scarves.

THE YARN
The warp and the tabby yarn are 8/2 cotton in the color "natural" from Maurice Brassard. Here's where you can get the same yarn: https://woolery.com/maurice-brassard-cotton-yarn-8-2.html?aff=214
For the pattern yarn, I used 8/4 cotton from Hobbii's Rainbow collection. I used 6 different colors:
-Plum (080)
-Navy Blue (030)
-Jeans Blue (029)
-Light Jeans Blue (028)
-Deep Jungle Green (100)

THE BOOK
For the pattern of the project, I followed a draft provided in Anne Dixon Book: The Handweaver’s Pattern Directory. This draft can be found at page 105 and it's called "Small Honey Suckle". Here’s where you can get this wonderful book: https://woolery.com/handweavers-pattern-directory.html?aff=214
THE LOOM
During the video, you can see my Leclerc Mecco table loom that had been converted into a floor loom. This loom has 4 shafts and the add-on treadles has 6 treadles. Here's a video where I give a tour of this loom: https://youtu.be/GSlcfJnLHR8
