Lace & Flower Runners: Vintage Inspiration

Inspired by an antique textile swatch, these Lace & Flower Runners beautifully showcase alternating sections of 3-thread huck (mock leno) and 4-thread spot weave, all set against a classic plain weave background. The delicate interplay of structure and texture gives these runners a timeless, vintage charm.

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave these Lace & Flower Runners that were designed by Patrice George for Handwoven.

Yarns: The original design was woven in 16/2 cotton at 6,720 yds/lb. This kit includes our Organic Ecocot™ 100% organically-grown cotton at 7,000 yds/lb. The pattern and sett will stay the same.

Fabric description:  Plain weave, 3-thread huck lace and spot weave.

Equipment needed: 8 shaft loom; 18 3/8" weaving width: 10 dent reed.

Finished size: two hemmed runners 16.5" x 52".

Instructions needed: Best of Handwoven Top Ten Table Runners on Eight Shafts available from Long Thread Media. 

The instructions weave one runner, but this kit allows for two runners on a 5 yard warp.

The pattern can be found in the Handwoven magazine noted above.  You will need to purchase this magazine if you don't already own a copy.
