A colourful wonderfully Hand Woven one-off Runner inspired by the sunny and uplifting colours of the rainbow.
Woven as a part of a very playful, densely graphic patterned collection, see Rainbow collection in gallery for more detail. This collection builds on previous projects such as the Joy and Autumn Retro fabrics. This singular Woven fabric consists of classic Plain and Repp Weave patterns using a much thicker and heavier weight Macrame Cotton weft. Woven as a much wider and longer piece, intended to used as a Rug, Runner or Wall hanging depending on your space. Finished with small hand-twisted fringe, spinning all of those bright colour bands together and finished with a knot.
This piece has a much tighter and stronger Weave and so is more durable. This cloth can be used a throw to lay over ones bed spread or draped over the settee, adding a pop of colour as displayed in the visuals above. The Woven piece can also be used an a Hanging Artwork or Wall Hanging depending on your space. It has a great linear graphic quality to it, inspired by Textile Artists and Weavers such as Anni Albers and Gunta Stozel. The weight and drape of the cloth lends itself to both purposes. Please refer to dimensions for suitability as both a Runner and Rug.
Features hand-stitched Mays label in corner, carefully sewn just encase you wish to remove it.
