Valley Yarns #242 Pussy Willow Towels WIF

Valley Yarns Pussy Willow Towels are bold hand towels that offer a modern take on a classic overshot draft. By using a double-bobbin boat shuttle to double the pattern weft, the entire draft (pattern and tabby) is woven in our workhorse Valley Yarns unmercerized 8/2 cotton. The two colors of tabby yarn, one in the warp and another in the weft, give the towels subtle, sophisticated depth. - This design is in WIF format, so weavers can electronically store and modify weaving drafts, display them graphically with weaving software, and use them to drive computer-assisted looms. -

Note: The .WIF file for this overshot draft excludes tabby, which can easily be added using your weaving software.
