This textile is a wonderful, antique European hand-woven, heavy hemp table runner, stair runner, or heavyweight upholstery fabric! ~ This fabric can be used for any of these purposes! ~ The last two photos in this listing are example photos of other similar fabrics used as stair runners - they aren't photos of this particular bolt, but just there to give you some inspiration and ideas about how to incorporate these lovely fabrics into your home and life! *~*~
Ideal for any period or farmhouse interior! This bolt is super interesting! There are intermittent blue weaves that indicate who the weaver was, like a signature! There are a few on the bolts, making this bolt very rare and super special. I only wish we knew who it was! ~ ~ This lovely textile was used to make very heavy grain sacking fabric, but now this particular bolt would make great table runners, rustic pillows, area rugs, and stair runners! This unused bolt of homespun dates from the late 1800s and was 100% woven by hand. ~ Gorgeous! Wonderful caramel stripes ~ The ground tone is a lovely warm natural oatmeal hemp tone! ~* This textile is a wonderful very heavy weight, SOFT and textural , floppy, extremely durable ~ Each short end is finished in a hand stitched hem. You can tell these were cut into lengths for making grain sacks because there are little stitched holes on each end for the drawstrings to be put through. ~*~ 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. ~*~ (
MEASUREMENTS: This bolt measures 4.5 yards long by 17 inches wide ( At the time of listing , I have multiple bolts, matching!! If you would like to purchase more than one of these matching bolts, simply add this to your cart and you can change the quantity! ~ )
CONDITION : Freshly laundered and ready to use!! Gorgeous condition~ ~*~
If you are purchasing to use as a STAIR RUNNER, here are the 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 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! ~
