Halftones - Set of Three Patterns
Halftones are the areas within an overshot pattern that appear to be shaded in, slightly lighter in tone compared to the solid color floats on the face of the cloth. This is a unique feature of overshot structures that adds dimension, texture, and color variation to the finished design.
This collection, designed by Amanda Rataj, plays with both traditional and non-traditional overshot sequences to weave a series of botanically inspired motifs. It was originally published as an installment of our Weave Quarterly subscription box series.
