Table ware final

I finally got the table runner finished. Ok I confess I got it finished over a week ago and just got a chance to blog it. Life gets busy you know then you don’t get to do the things you enjoy, I digress.

The runner came out very well I thought. The fabric itself is quite sturdy and will work well. Being disappointed in not being able to do the original fringe the one I came up with is a nice substation.

Check out the closer view you can see all three different types of trim that I mentioned in an earlier post. So all in all I’m happy with the out come. Sorry for the cloudiness.

Table Ware

I’m sure everyone has those projects that they will eventually get around too. This is one of those projects; I had this really cool idea for a table runner in a rep weave. Well time and other obligations got me sidetracked and it never happened. Until now I have finally made it a point to make the table runner.

The idea was to have a main color with some stripping (Yes I know I’m on this strip kick). Not a lot of strips and more spread out, the picture should explain what I mean.

The rep weave that I’m doing doesn’t have a real thick weft. In reality the warp is 10/2 cotton. The weft is 10/2 and 5/2 cotton. This is how I get the rep effect not dramatic but it does make a nice fabric. The picture shows what I mean.












This is a closer view for you to check out.

The one other reason that I wanted to make this, it’s for a special trim that I would like to use on the loose ends. I’m not going to tell you what that is yet, so you will have to wait and see when I have it all woven and the trim done.
