Valley Yarns #79 Comfort Shawl PDF

What could be softer and easier care than a Valley Yarns 2/10 Merino Tencel shawl?! We see Valley Yarns Comfort Shawl as a comforting hug for yourself or anyone on your gift list. We put on a long warp and wove the store sample plus two more to donate to the Cancer Connection, a local organization that supports those dealing with cancer. The wonderful thing about a multi-color warp like this is that each shawl was woven with a different weft, making each one unique and special.
