Crazyshot!-Creative Overshot Weaving on the Rigid Heddle Loom

Product Information

I am just starting out weaving, encouraged by the lovely lady who sold me my loom, so I feel like I am at a cross roads signed with all the techniques I want to try. My preferred loom is the rigid heddle and I love this ‘crazy shot’ and its strong patterns and bright colors.

I recently discovered weaving on a rigid heddle loom when I had to give up pottery because of arthritis. I was done with overthinking (talking myself out of projects), I warped up my RH with some handspun and millspun yarn. As I started to say, putting it plainly, I would be crazy to pass up an opportunity working on developing dazzling overshot patterns as shown on the picture. Kelly and Myra, I enjoyed reading your interview and “listening” in on two weavers who love to share their excitement and knowledge about weaving.I love the idea of creating such beautiful patterns, I too love Colour and have a huge stash of fibers to play with. Overshot is visual in the color combos and patterns but it is also tactile, much more so than other weaving structures i’ve tried on my RH. This technique looks like it’s in-keeping with my usual personality quirk but I also won’t end up drowning! I feel when I can get started it would be so good to have her ideas and instructions right their beside me.

Crazyshot - creative overshot weaving - introduces anyone who uses a rigid heddle loom to a whole world of creative weaving.Wow, creating such striking and varied patterns, and such wonderfully creative use of colors, with just one heddle and one pick up stick, is truly awe-inspiring! I only bought my first loom just before Christmas last year and I’m so excited to try all these new things. I love that such detailed intricate looking patterns can be created on the RHL with only one heddle and a pick up stick!
