Valley Yarns #249 Bordered Diamonds Silk Scarf WIF

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. 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.

*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.
