Valley Yarns Baker’s Dozen EBook

Valley Yarns Baker’s Dozen eBook is a collection
of weaving drafts for dish towels designed by Anita Thompson. You’ll never get
bored with this long towel warp—there’s something new to weave every 29”. This
excellent eBook shows how to weave 13 different towels off of one warp and
threading. It’s a very efficient way to use your time by minimizing the time
spent warping the loom. And with so many designs, you can weave something
different for everyone on your gift list.
