I am thinking I am doing this draft of trellis (the original from BGH) and not Primrose. Must Investigate this when I get back to school this week.

Where do I find the original, not turned draft. I like the design but I have 4shaft loom. I did tried to turn it back but result was semi-cirlces not quite as original.

Thanks,

N

Thanks for posting this.   I'm going to try a turned overshot very soon!

Do please post a picture of the actual fabric when you can!

 

Notes

<p>This overshot pattern was "turned" from a 4 shaft draft to make it into a one-shuttle weave on 6 shafts.<br />&nbsp;Note that there is no treadling option for plain weave or "tabby". Ground warps alternate on shafts 5-6, with pattern warps appearing&nbsp;on shafts 1-4.&nbsp;</p><p>This warp was threaded in 20/2 cotton for the ground, 10/2 for the pattern, and was woven on a Structo 240 loom, much in the same spirit as Bertha Grey Hayes originally wove her design samples for her subscribers. A contemporary twist is using a dark ground, and a light color for the pattern.</p><p>Note that every other thread in the warp is a thin 20/2 (the dark color) and the light represents the pattern (10/2). When woven, the design should be squared (making round circles, not ovals) as shown on the illustration. My software cannot render thick and thin threads.</p>
