Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A three-page article in Handweaving News on three methods of designing four-block overshot patterns. The first builds the threading from a simple twill order of blocks (the colonial 'Sunrise' patterns), the second uses a herringbone block order (1,2,3,4,3,2), and the third designs 'on opposites' with paired blocks. Each method includes key, threading and check drafts, with warp-count instructions for 400- and 420-thread warps and suggestions for uses such as runners, bags and towels.
