Arabesque Runner

Use the catenpile technique to embellish as you weave this ornate table runner on the rigid-heddle loom. By outlining with a variegated yarn, you’ll form interesting negative shapes, giving you an impactful design for relatively small effort.

This ornate table runner is embellished simultaneously as it is woven with the catenpile weaving technique (see web bonus at LT.Media/Catenpile). The naturally colored brown cotton provides a neutral background for the undulating catenpile motif, which shines in luminescent variegated Tencel. The use of negative space maximizes the impact of the design while minimizing the time spent looping and chaining.
