38 Projects to Practice Your Skills

by Susan Kesler-Simpson

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

These 4” scissors are coated in black to ensure a long and rust free life. Pointy enough to poke the yarn ends back in the Monk’s Cloth and to snip off the ends neatly.

With regular use, fiber fuzz can collect between the teeth of the gripper strips in our Oxford Gripper Strip Frames. We designed these special frame cleaners with handles made from our Oxford Punch Needles, they work like a charm!

The Oxford Company gripper frames are our preferred choice for stretching backing fabric. The most important step for successful punch needle rug hooking is stretching your rug backing REALLY tight on a frame. A general rule of thumb is to stretch the fabric as tight as a drum.

Each frame is quick and simple to stretch your rug backing or pattern onto. When your backing is tight, your punch will glide through it with ease. Easy punching makes the craft more relaxing and reduces hand and wrist strain. Taut backing will also make your loops more even! The Oxford Company's high quality pine frames are sturdy without being heavy. 

Project your hands with the frame covers sold separately.

Size Selection Guide:

• 6" x 6" - The newest size in the series that is perfect for small projects like coasters, mug rugs, small ornaments, etc. Frame can be disassembled for traveling or storage. It becomes compact enough to fit just about anywhere!
• 10" x 10" - The "Baby Ox," Perfect for small projects like coasters, ornaments, little mats, and wall hangings. Frame can be disassembled for traveling or storage. It becomes compact enough to fit just about anywhere!
• 14" x 14" - Super for all kinds of projects – coasters, ornaments, small bags, wall hangings, trivets, and many more. Frame can be disassembled for traveling or storage.
• 18" x 18" - This is the most popular size. It works well for chair pads and many other projects. Many punchers also use this frame to make larger rugs. Frame can be disassembled for traveling or storage.
• 15" x 26" - This smaller rectangle frame is easier to hold on your lap than the 20" x 30" frame. This fame feels more comfortable for some.
• 20" x 30" - This larger frame is ideal because you can make a nice sized 2' x 3' rug and only have to move it once. (2' x 3' is a very popular rug size and a common size for many commercial patterns.)
