Coastal Macrame White Table / Bed Runner

How is this runner's pattern arranged?

It is built in stacked panels of lattice and diamond knotting, with horizontal bars dividing one section from the next. The bars break the length into clear blocks, so the runner reads as a series of framed panels ending in a fringe.

Is 14 x 72 inches right for my table?

Measure your table first. If it is shorter than 72 inches, the panels at each end will drop over the edges along with the fringe; if it is longer, the runner sits fully on top as a centre strip. The 14-inch width leaves room for plates on both sides.

Can I lay it on a bed?

Yes, it doubles as a bed runner. Place it across the foot of the bed over a plain bedcover; the stacked panels then sit across the width like a band of texture, and the fringe falls over the side.

Will mine match the photo exactly?

Very nearly. Each runner is knotted by hand, so the lattice panels, bars and fringe can vary slightly. These minor irregularities are part of handmade work, and colour may appear a little different depending on your screen.

What care does this runner need?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid twisting it or scrubbing the knots, especially around the panel bars, then lay it flat to air dry so it keeps its shape and texture.

Would it make a good gift?

It is a thoughtful gift, useful on a dining table, a coffee table or a bed. It is hand-knotted in cotton cord at the Indiehaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra under master artisan Brijbala.
