Active twills with lots of direction changes make very intricate-looking designs. Choosing contrasting colors heightens the effect and makes an elaborate, ornate design. We've put this to use in a table runner woven in 5/2 perle cotton. It is sett at 18 epi in the warp and there is just one weft so there is only one shuttle to handle. The finished measurements are 14" x 65". The runner can be hand washed and dried flat.

You will need:

• 17” weaving width
• 8 harnesses
• 12-dent reed
• 297 heddles
• boat shuttle and bobbins

Our runner uses 5/2 perle in 29 Old Gold for the warp and 63 Yale Blue for the weft. If you like the colors as shown, simply order the kit above. If you would like to choose your own colors of 5/2 perle, order the kit and then note the main color and accent color you want in the box above. Please see our 5/2 perle page to see the colors. Then return to this page, order the kit, and tell us in the box above your two color choices. Please note which is the main (warp) color.
