With lively yet refined rows of interlocking concentric circles, Overshot is a contemporary interpretation of traditional textiles. It is named for a weave structure with a long history and a distinctive construction: as the weft yarn jumps or ""shoots"" over the foundational plain weave of the warp yarns, a decorative pattern layer is created. This design takes inspiration from vintage-inspired American coverlets. Used as the topmost covering on a bed and distinct from quilts, these woven textiles were especially popular during the early to mid-nineteenth century. The earliest examples were made with an overshot weave, and this craft continues today. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
