Valley Yarns #240 Tula Shawl PDF

Inspired by a sense of balance, Valley Yarns Tula Shawl is the perfect accessory that is intricate and soft on those chilly autumn nights. Woven entirely in clasped-weft, this draft will stretch your rigid heddle skills, while the repetitive nature of the pattern lends itself to a meditative weaving experience.
