With these placemats, not only do you get pretty cotton table toppers, but you have the benefit of weaving something close to a sampler. While the design has a straightforward threading sequence, variety in the treadling and the color-and-weave effect gives you a patchwork of different 4-harness patterns. The yarn is Ad Astra 4/2 cotton sett at 15 epi, for an absorbent fabric with some heft. The kit makes four placemats, each 17.25" x 12.75". They can be machine washed and dried.

You will need:

• 20" weaving width
• 4 harnesses
• 10- or 15-dent reed
• 2 boat shuttles and 4 bobbins

Our placemats use our Ad Astra 4/2 cotton in 11 Natural, 46 Wisteria, and 33 Grassland. If you would like your placemats to be in these colors, simply order the kit above.
