Valley Yarns #281 Checks and Balances Runner PDF

Houndstooth or herringbone, plaited or broken, we’ve never met a twill we didn’t like, and that’s the inspiration behind this distinguished runner. Woven in four vibrant colors of 10/2 Cotton, this simple twill shows off a color-and-weave effect that makes it look more complex than it really is.
