Stair runner heavy hemp Grain sack Fabric by the yard red order and blue Stripes Herringbone weave Antique homespun linen

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

This textile a wonderful, Antique / Vintage European hand-woven, pure heavy hemp Stair Runner roll! ~*~

Ideal for any period interior ~This lovely textile was used to make very very heavy grain sacking fabric, but now these bolts make great stair runners! This bolt of homespun dates from the 1880's or a bit later~ and is 100% woven by hand. ~ Gorgeous! One red and one blue stripe in the center and on one red stripe along the side edge with a wonderful darker ground to the hemp! ~* This textile is a wonderful very heavy weight, extremely durable, and coarse! ~Lovely herringbone weave! *~ 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. ~*~ ( EL08 )

MEASUREMENTS: I am selling this bolt by the yard so each quantity will measure 1 yard long by about 20.5 inches wide. If you would like to receive a longer, continuous, uncut length simply increase the quantity and you will receive one long, uncut piece up to 18 yards long. For example, if you need 3 yards simply change the quantity to 3 and you will receive a length measuring 20.5 inches wide by 3 yards long. Any amount over 18 yards long order will come in a separate bolt of fabric. While supplies last we will accommodate the longest bolts possible and we will contact you if your yardage will have to come as two separate bolts. PLEASE NOTE : BECAUSE THESE BOLTS ARE ANTIQUE AND ONE OF A KIND UNIQUE, WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCEPT RETURNS OF ANY PURCHASES OF LESS THAN 3 YARDS LONG.

CONDITION : This bolt is in as found, unwashed condition but it can be dry cleaned. There are only a few pale marks from storage. The stripe on the very side edge sometime wanders over a few threads, please be aware of this since it is an inconsistent look. Great condition!!! Condition reflected in the price!

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! ~
