Sunlit Seas Runner

Sunlit Seas Runner

This luminous table runner captures the shimmering effect of sunlight dancing across water. Soft color gradients flow gently from one hue to the next, creating a calm, coastal feel that brings light and movement to the table.

Woven in Plain Weave with Mallo Cotton Slub, this project is wonderfully approachable and satisfying at the loom. The forgiving structure and hearty yarn allow the fabric to build quickly, while the slub texture adds depth and visual interest. With instructions for three different finished lengths, this runner is easy to customize for a variety of tables and spaces.

Pattern downloads include files for both rigid heddle and shaft loom weaving. Yardage requirements vary based on loom waste and the chosen runner length.

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.
