The Loom Shed Weave Study Group 26/27 - Overshot

Mondays 7 – 8pm 8th June & 7th September 2026, 18th January, 5th April, 5th July 2027 This year, join Louise and Liz for one of their weaving passions — Overshot! Yes, we are teaching this course ourselves! Expert weaver and tutor Louise has been teaching weaving for years, and it was through her guidance that Liz discovered that weaving was missing from her life for too long!. Together, we bring both experience and enthusiasm to every session, sharing the skills and insights that have kept The Loom Shed alive and thriving. We love overshot: perhaps it’s the fair-isle overtones, perhaps the clear pattern — but always with the possibility of pushing the classic structure out of the box. Over five online sessions, we’ll introduce the structure, familiarise you with threading, lifting, and the rules of overshot — and then show you how to bend them. Add more than one colour? Use textured or bobbly yarn? Create your own structure? Absolutely yes, yes and yes! This course is ideal for newer weavers, working from the beginning of the structure on four shafts. But if you have more experience and want a fresh challenge, we welcome you too.
