Blended drafts

Seems blended drafts is all the rage right now. Way back in 1994, a friend sent me an article on the subject and I dove in head first, actually starting to write a book on the subject. I created many blends and wove a few, then life changed, I sold my house in southern CA, moved to NC and started my business. Maybe I'll resurrect that old manuscript. Anyway, even before moving to the southern Appalachians I loved overshot. Trouble is, if you weave scarves and want them to drape well, plain weave is not the best weave structure. So I am weaving overshot on a twill base. I put on a 9 yard warp for 4 scarves; one has the overshot pattern in ribbon, one will have the overshot pattern in woven shibori, and I haven't decided on the other 2 yet.
