Linen warp and tabby with a wool pattern weft are obvious choices for a traditional overshot table runner. The draft, however, taken from Weaving Designs by Bertha Gray Hayes: Miniature Overshot Patterns by Smayda, White, Brown, and Schelleng, is surprisingly dynamic. By using a thicker pattern weft than is conventional with our 20/2 Linen, we have also elongated the pattern, emphasizing the diagonals and creating an exciting accent for your table. The warp is sett at 24 epi. Finished measurements are 16" x 71". The runner can be hand washed and dried flat.

You will need:

• 18.5” weaving width
• 4 harnesses
• 12 dent reed
• 439 heddles
• two boat shuttles

The linen is half bleached and we've chosen Iris for our Shetland pattern weft. Unfortunatley, Iris is not currently available from its manufacturer. Please see our Shetland page to see the colors. Then return to this page, order the kit, and tell us in the box above which color of Shetland you would like for your kit.
