Valley Yarns #227 Pinwheel Tote PDF

Valley Yarns Pinwheel Tote is a fabulous bag made with handwoven fabric from just one sitting at your rigid heddle loom. By combining four different colors in our Valley Yarns Huntington Splash and Charlemont, you’ll end up with four unique quadrants of fabric used to construct the bag - each with its own unique pizazz from the variation in the weft. Show off your weaving skills with this bag in tow on your next errand or outing! Intermediate Sewing Skills required.
