Table or Stair Runner hotsell Heavy Hemp Antique Grain Sack Fabric with Dark Blue Stripes

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

This textile is a wonderful, antique European hand-woven, heavy hemp table runner or stair runner fabric! ~

Ideal for any period or farmhouse interior! ~ This lovely textile was used to make very heavy grain sacking fabric, but now these bolts make great table runners, rustic pillows, area rugs, and stair runners! This smaller bolt of homespun dates from circa 1900 and was 100% woven by hand. ~ Gorgeous! Wonderful dark inky blue stripes in the center and along one edge. ~ The ground tone is a lovely warm natural greige hemp tone! ~* This textile is a wonderful very heavy weight, floppy, extremely durable, and slightly coarse! ~Lovely herringbone weave! 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. ~*~ ( ELB10 )

MEASUREMENTS: I have 2 of these small bolts that I am selling here separately, one measures about 92 inches long by about 19 inches wide, the other measures about 79 inches long by about 19 inches wide. Please see the variations.

CONDITION : Please note I have 2 of these small bolts that I am selling here separately, so the condition will vary slightly for each. This bolt is in as found, unwashed condition but it can be dry cleaned. ~*~ There are a few small stains and a tiny tear in the side edge on each. Each has some little flaw here or there, but generally in wonderful condition, ideal for day to day use!

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 runner will lay, then simply measure the string! ~*~* hotsell ~*~ 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! ~
