Product Description
Valley Yarns Four Corners Placemats are beautiful mats that are a great way to try your hand at Warp Rep. We walk you through the weaving of the sample to learn the technique and then onto a set of 4 placemats for your table. Choose colors to match your plates or dining area, or go with our delightful colorway.
