Overshot Simply (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Susan Kesler-Simpson | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Overshot is perhaps the most iconic weaving technique--think antique coverlets and fancy table runners--yet many weavers are intimidated by its complex-looking structure. But it doesn't have to be difficult! In this book, Susan Kesler-Simpson makes overshot approachable by breaking it down piece by piece so that the weaver understand how it works, and then she puts it all back together so that weavers will have the confidence to make their own overshot patterns or to try any of the 38 overshot projects she has designed for the book.

Weavers will learn:

to understand overshot as a derivative of twill
to understand the tie-up, placement of tabby in the tie-up, threading, and treadling
how to choose threads for overshot
how to use borders in your designs
how to set up the loom for overshot
how to work an overshot gamp

Projects include:

Blankets
Shawls
Scarves
Christmas ornaments
Table runners
Placemats
Napkins
Others

"Susan's explanations are to the point and easy to understand. When you read through the chapters, it's as if Susan is sitting there with you, telling you in a friendly voice how to weave overshot step by step."--excerpt from the Foreword by Tom Knisely
