Valley Yarns #07 Throw in 4-Shaft Dornik Twill PDF

Valley Yarns 2/10 Merino/Tencel has a hand and luster that make it ideal for a cozy fabric of any sort. Drape this Dornik Twill Throw over the sofa, wrap up in it on a cool night, put it over a baby blanket for a stroll in the park. The reversing dornik twill adds interest to the fabric and it is totally easy care. To make the weaving even easier, you could treadle only in a one-direction twill; to make it easier than that, use just one color in the weft for a striped, rather than plaid fabric.
