I wanted a tablerunner to brighten up the room, as it has a lot of wood going on in the current configuration (floor, sideboard, table, etc).\u00a0 I picked out the brown flax and the pink variegated yarn with that in mind.\u00a0 And then had to figure out how the 2 would play together, what sett to use, etc.\u00a0 I played around with samples on my Northwest Pioneer loom, settling on a sett of 15epi.<\/p>\n

In the end, I like both sides of the fabric.\u00a0 It didn’t shrink as much as I expected it would, and the plainweave ends flared a bit, so I left it on the dining room table for a week to ponder what I wanted it to look like in the end.\u00a0 I settled on pointed ends, and simply zigzagged the ends, trimmed the fringe to almost nothing, and sewed the edges together into points.\u00a0 I can now flip the ends inside out and turn the tablerunner over if I want the (originally planned) underside.<\/p>\n

Not sure it actually lightens up the dining room much; all the better excuse to try another weaving project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
