Overshot Notecard Insert Instructions
$0.00
Overshot is a wonderful woven structure for small items. A white or natural warp made from 20/2 yarn (sett at 36 EPI) is the perfect background for a rainbow of notecards with 10/2 yarn as the pattern weft. Every card can have a different look as you change the color. The Pattern weft threads float over the warp threads, allowing the color or texture of the pattern yarn to be in the spotlight. Plus, with Overshot, you can get remarkably intricate looking patterns with only 4 shafts. And it is magical to watch the pattern develop with each shot of pattern weft. With these instructions, you can make 15 or more notecard inserts. Design by Alan Luhring.
These instructions were discussed in a blog post about using skinny yarns for small projects. Click here to read the blog post.
