Week 8 of 2025

This week I finished a woven table runner -

Last year I wove some Heavy Meta towels. I loved the pattern, but because I substituted yarn that was readily available to me the horizontal and vertical stripes didn't weave to the same width. I knew I would revisit the pattern to see what I could do to change that.

Using Fiberworks (a computer software program) I modified the pattern so the vertical stripes would be wider (also changed the pattern in a few other ways to make it work as a table runner). 

The difference in the mock up is exaggerated because it only shows one weft thread, and there are two (pattern and tabby).

I wove it with 2/16 unmercerized cotton (MB Old Gold) for the warp and the tabby weft, and 2/8 tencel (MB Natural) for the pattern weft.

I am super happy with how it turned out. The stripes are the same width. Next I will modify the pattern again to try more towels.

The table runner is about 13"x59" (not including fringe). More details can be found on my Ravelry page.
