Plaid Table Runner

Plaid table runner in 100% cotton yarn-dyed tartan — classic red-and-green Christmas, buffalo check, or muted heritage plaids, cut 13–14 in. wide in lengths 72 / 90 / 108 / 120 in. Our plaid table runner is jacquard-woven so the pattern is dimensional and never cracks in the wash.

Plaid is the heritage pattern

A plaid table runner is what a cosy autumn or Christmas table wants when a solid runner feels underdressed. Tartan, buffalo check, heritage plaid — the woven-in pattern reads as tradition and country rather than as themed decor.

Yarn-dyed jacquard, not printed

Every plaid in this range is yarn-dyed jacquard — the pattern is woven into the fabric using pre-coloured yarns, not printed on top. Two consequences: the pattern never cracks or fades in the wash, and it’s dimensional and two-sided.
