Valley Yarns #268 Tanti Iridescent Scarf PDF

Inspired by Indian silk sarees and the masterful weavers who make them, the colorful Valley Yarns Tanti Iridescent Scarf draft produces a lovely finished accessory with a gorgeous sheen woven in Valley Yarns 8/2 Tencel. Silky smooth and with a fluid drape and luminous sheen, 8/2 Tencel creates finished pieces that have a luxurious feel and iridescence. Woven with a 12 or 12½ dent heddle, this draft doubles the fine threads of the 8/2 Tencel so it’s easily weavable with a single rigid heddle. If you’ve ever wanted to try fine threads on your rigid heddle loom, this is a great place to start! Woven in plain weave, the Tanti Iridescent Scarf lets the qualities of the yarn shine through, accented by stripes in both the warp and weft.
