Valley Yarns #249 Bordered Diamonds Silk Scarf PDF

Testing the limits of what’s possible on a 4-shaft loom, Valley Yarns Bordered Diamond Silk Scarf produces a fairly complicated pattern with only four shafts. Made with our gorgeous 20/2 silk, this radiant scarf is sure to turn heads wherever it is worn! With fairly complicated threading and treadling sequences, this draft is recommended for Adventurous Beginners and up.

*The draft is written for one scarf based on a 3-yard warp, but because the threading and treadling are complex, it makes sense to weave multiple scarves! If you want to weave more than one scarf, add another 2 yards per additional scarf to the warp and commensurate weft.
