~*~ Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk! ~*~
SOOO Beautiful , one of the very best! Ideal for any period interior ~This lovely textile was once used to make very heavy grain sacks, but now these bolts make great stair runners! This rare bolt of homespun dates from the early 1900's ~ and is 100% woven by hand. This wonderful antique bolt of hemp has a beautiful dark blue toned stripe , three stripes in the middle and one thin stripe on one edge! I LOVE this bolt . ~*~ * This textile is a very heavy weight, extremely durable, nice herringbone weave. The fabric is stiff and heavily textural, perfect for a stair runner ~ *~ 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 listing is for a 5 yard length of this amazing runner !! ~
CONDITION : This bolt has been dry cleaned!! Nubby and softer than most of these wonderful bolts! More pliable and floppy!!~ It's SUPERB !!
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! ~*~* ~*~ 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! ~
