Color and Weave Runner by Deborah Jarchow
Whether for special occasions or every day, a beautiful table runner dresses up your kitchen or living room furnishings. This colorful and decorative runner will look lovely on any table in your home.
While learning how to make different variations of color and weave effect, you’ll also practice weaving with two shuttles. With five warp colors and four weft colors, this project may seem complex, but is an enjoyable plain weave design. It’s amazing and exciting to see the number of designs you will achieve by mixing colors in various combinations of warp and weft yarns.
There are two color choices available.
Harmony colors include Terra Cotta, Ecru, Camel, Taupe, and Cafe.
