Valley Yarns #238 Ebb & Flow Double Wide Chenille Throw

Have you always wanted to make a blanket, but your loom is too narrow? Sewing panels together is fine but learning how to weave double wide is another option – and Valley Yarns Ebb & Flow Double Wide Chenille Throw is the perfect place to start! This project is woven in double width plain weave with a Bamboo warp with Chenille weft, resulting in easy weaving and a gorgeously snuggly fabric that is both machine washable and dryable. Use this draft as a jumping off point to designing with your own colors and stripe sequences!
