3 yards Stair / table runner heavy hemp Grain sack Fabric by the yard blue Stripes discount Twill weave Antique homespun linen

~*~ Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk! ~*~



Ideal for any period interior~ lovely French country look *~ Wonderful table runner or lovely for a small set of stairs as a stair runner ~*~ This lovely textile was used to make very very heavy grain sacking fabric, but now these bolts make great stair or table runners! This bolt of homespun dates from circa 1920 and is 100% woven by hand. ~ Gorgeous! Lovely burgundy stripes with a wonderful warm ground tone to the hemp! ~*~Lovely heavy twill weave! This hemp runner has a somewhat stiff and coarse texture, very durable heavy weight! ~*~ I love knowing that these textiles were produced without the use of chemicals so are totally natural, organic textiles. ~*~ For easy stair runner instructions, please see below, and see condition below. ~*~ ( EL ST827)

MEASUREMENTS: This bolt measures 2.27 yards long by 20.5 inches wide


CONDITION : This bolt is in as found, unwashed condition~ lovely condition with a small mark near one end ! This particular fabric should be dry cleaned only as the stripe may bleed on these heavy types of homespun

STAIR RUNNER INSTRUCTIONS: These textiles are built to withstand generations of use~ To measure your stairs, simply lay a piece of string and follow the entire area as the discount runner will lay, then simply measure the string! ~*~* ~*~ I have sold many many of these rolls as stair runners and people have raved about them for a very long time. Fitting is usually done with a thin felt underlay and then either tacked, nailed or stapled to the stairs or stair rods can be used. This roll would also be wonderful cut into smaller rugs, table runners, stair runners or hallway carpeting OR would make a very rustic table runner~ it has a wonderful unique look, very special indeed~*~ ~*~!!! It would give so much warmth and flair to any room! ~*~ ( I have attached a couple of photographs of my runners in use~ so beautiful, so unique ~ a lovely piece of textile history; brought back to add beauty to our lives today~*~ ) These heavy textiles are far better to either dry clean or spot clean as needed. If laying as a stair runner, simply treat as you would any other rug to clean! ~
