The Heirloom Lace Table Runner by Bree Bergen is woven with an elegant lace weave structure that emphasizes the crisp texture of the linen warp and the soft slub of the cotton/linen weft.
This pattern is woven on a 4 shaft loom, but similar variations can be made on a 2 shaft or rigid heddle loom with weaver controlled lace structures (see the link under project notes).
