A little red, a little green, a little sparkle. Set your holiday table with a jaunty set of plaid placemats. And if a little cranberry sauce gets spilled, don't worry about it. These babies can be machine washed. Weaving them just in classic Christmas red and green in 8/2 Orlon would have been dandy but we decided to throw in an accent of Gold Rush for extra festivity. The warp is sett at 20 epi which keeps the floats of green and red in the stripes manageable. The stripes create a grid against a background of plain weave in red. The kit makes four hemmed placemats with finished dimensions of 13.5" x 20". They can be hand or machine washed and dried flat.

You will need:

• 15.5" weaving width
• 6 harnesses
• 10 dent reed
• 307 heddles
• 1 boat shuttle
• 3 bobbins
• needle and thread for hemming

We used traditional Christmas colors in the 8/2 Orlon: #0909 Green and #0191 Crimson with an accent of Gold Rush # 0004 True Gold. If you would like these colors, simply order the kit above. If you would like to choose your own colors, please see our 8/2 Orlon page and the Gold Rush page to view the options. Then return to this page, order the kit, and tell us your color selections in the box above.
