Valley Yarns #03 Pinwheel Scarf

The color and weave technique on Valley Yarns Pinwheel Scarf creates a fun variation on a houndstooth. Although it looks complex, it’s easy to warp and weave. It is also open to endless play with color. Just choose a dark and a light color and create a cascade of pinwheels spinning across your scarf!
