September 20, 2019

If you want to weave place mats or table runners in Rep weave, this is an ideal thick weft!  It is the thick weft that is used in the Sizzling Hot Pads Kit and the Metamorphic Placemats Kit.

One cone is enough to weave 5-6 place mats!  We are impressed with the softness of the resulting fabrics. We have also been impressed with the wash fastness of the colors.

We currently have 15 colors in stock, but we can order this yarn in any of the Maurice Brassard colors!  Please let us know if you need another color.
