Valley Yarns #269 Quadrants Wrap PDF

The Valley Yarns #269 Quadrants Shawl is a generously sized shoulder wrap is perfect for taking the chill off of a cool spring or summer evening and works especially well with sleeveless dresses for formal or semi-formal events. Designed to produce two full shawls (while swapping colors in the warp and weft) from just two cones, this draft gives you the option to maximize your weaving output for your yarn purchase. Valley Yarns 8/2 Tencel is a silky smooth yarn that features a beautiful sheen and fluid drape that creates stunning finished pieces. Note that you will need over 1 lb of each color to weave two full shawls.

Note: This pattern can be woven with either color in the warp with the other color in the weft. It is designed to pro-
duce two shoulder wraps using only two cones of yarn. After the first piece is complete, I like to knot the second warp
of the opposite color onto the first one. It’s a little quicker than starting from scratch and re-threading 600 heddles.
