“Background information on each of the weaves, followed by a discussion of modern use of each weave, then by drafts and weaving instructions. Overshot techniques covered include overshot on opposites, swivel effect on overshot drafts, six-block overshot on four shafts, multi-shaft overshot, code in overshot, and a quiz in overshot. Summer and winter with a tabby ground and colors in summer and winter precede a set of summer and winter production drafts.” – Handweaving : An Annotated Bibliography by Isabel Bushmann
