A short article from The Handicrafter describing a sixteenth-century Spanish linen table runner woven in overshot, sent to the author to be copied and analyzed. Heartz discusses the origins and classification of weaves, quotes Mildred Stapley Byne on Spanish weaving, and notes the equivalent names for the structure (Colonial Overshot, Simple Damask, Russian Diaper). The second page gives the threading draft and treadling table, along with yarn details (linen warp at 30 ends per inch, loosely plied pattern wefts in tan and blue) and Bernat linen yarn substitutes.
