Sample pages
Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A Swatch Page column from Minnesota Weaver explaining how to read an overshot pattern in both the weft and warp directions. It starts from a honeysuckle weft overshot draft and shows how to derive a warp-pattern draft (tabby on harnesses 1 and 2, pattern on 3-6, with the tie-up turned and x/o swapped). It then combines the two on 8 harnesses for pattern in both directions, with threading and tie-up drafts. Yarn, sett and notes on the sample photos are included, plus a short bibliography.
