September 2022: Overshot Patterned Double Weave

A four shaft overshot pattern can be converted to double weave using 4 shafts, but using 8 shafts makes the threading easier. The threading can be repeated on shafts 5 through 8 in parallel as shown on the draft; shafts 1-4 for the top layer and 5-8 for the bottom layer. The treadling is paralleled as well with the left four tie-ups weaving the top layer and the right four tie-ups weaving the bottom layer.
