Cafe Table Runner

Create a stunning table runner that blends the natural beauty of rustic texture with the delicate sophistication of lace. This weaving kit pairs Duet Cotton/Linen—a soft yet sturdy yarn that showcases linen’s earthy character—with the airy elegance of Bronson Lace weave structure, a classic weave structure known for its graceful openwork.

The result is a runner that feels both refined and relaxed—perfect for everyday dining or special occasions. Whether draped across a farmhouse table or layered over a formal setting, this project brings a handcrafted touch that’s truly timeless.
