Unmercerized 8/4 Cotton Yarn – Maurice Brassard
This 100% cotton Rug Warp is a timeless favorite for rag rugs, Repp weave rugs, and placemats. It is a wonderfully stable warp yarn because of its tight twist and low elasticity. This yarn comes in a wide range of colors for you to match to your fabric strips or create a rainbow across the warp. Available on 8 oz tubes with approximately 840 yards per tube (1680 yards per pound).
8/16 Repp Filler – Maurice Brassard
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.
These unmercerized 8/16 cotton yarns are amazing to work with. The yarn is soft, absorbent, and it comes in a wide range of colors. 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.
