Deb Essen's overshot kit combines environmentally-sensitive agriculture with a great design. It uses naturally-color cottons grown on farms in the American West participating in the Sustainable Cotton Project. They are grown without using the 13 most toxic chemicals used in conventional cotton production, use non-genetically modified seed, and use biological pest management. The yarn is wonderfully soft and absorbent plus the colored cotton deepens in hue when washed! The cream warp is sett at 16 epi and the weft uses both the cream cotton for the tabby and either brown or green cotton for the pattern weft. The kit includes a pre-wound warp and enough weft to weave 4 hemmed placemats, each 16" x 13", or 4 hand towels or one runner 70" long. Instructions for all options are included in the kit. Please note: The warp length allows for 20" of loom waste. If your loom requires more than that, you will need to plan to shorten your woven pieces.

You will need:

• 14.5" weaving width
• 4 harnesses
• 8-dent reed
• 2 boat shuttles and bobbins

Choose either the brown or green combination.
