#overshot

My first time doing clasped weft technique! It's slow but so so striking! It has unsquared my overshot but I'm treating that as a feature this time.

You throw the shuttle in from one side, loop it round your second yarn and throw it back through the same shed to pull the second yarn into the cloth....

.... And then you beat very very slowly and carefully while pulling on each yarn to get the colour change exactly where you want it, and then you carry on and admire/curse your result. It's an absolute bastard to unweave.

I went to post this on another platform, but their app keeps crashing and I'm not in the mood to deal with it, so please have it as my first original post on this account!

edit to add the sampler now off the loom:

It's been a long time coming, but I finally have a project on a bigger loom than my sampleit. Hoping to get 2 squares and a narrow runner out of this, if all goes to plan.

Pattern: Bloom Table Squares by Gist Yarn.
