Running Stitch Table Set

Running Stitch Table Set

This kit includes a set of placemats and coordinating napkins, each woven on separate warps with opposite color arrangements to maximize yarn use and create a cohesive, stunning table set.

The design features subtle textural shifts created by crammed threading and doubled pick areas, adding dimension to an otherwise simple plain weave structure. With two contrasting colors of Duet Cotton/Linen, the resulting cloth is graphic, vibrant, and perfect for everyday meals or special gatherings.

Pattern downloads include instructions for both rigid heddle and 4-shaft looms, with updated direct-warping and sleying instructions for the rigid heddle version. Yardage requirements vary slightly depending on loom waste, making this kit adaptable for multiple weaving setups.

This kit is different from our standard weaving kits. Instead of pre-measured yarn amounts, you’ll receive full-size cones of each color used in the pattern. This means you may have extra yarn beyond what the project requires—perfect for weaving additional fabric or exploring your own variations.

The kit price reflects the inclusion of full-size cones and the expanded creative possibilities they offer.
