An article from the Master Weaver newsletter (Fulford, Quebec, November 1954) arguing that colonial overshot can be made modern by using simple block patterns, short uniform floats and a single colour for pattern and binder. It explains the colonial "table" unit drafting method that keeps floats to 5 or 7, the incidental heddles needed to join blocks, and treadling without binder using four coloured shuttles in rotating order. Draft diagrams and treadling tables illustrate the examples.
