Handwoven Thai Table Runners

Hand-wash cool with a mild soap and dry in the shade; spot-clean spills quickly rather than letting them set. Avoid bleach and hot water, which lift natural dye. Washed gently and separately, a runner keeps its earthen tones for years of table use.

Mudmee is Thai ikat — the threads are tied and dyed in a pattern before weaving, so the motif comes from the yarn itself. Many runners carry mudmee detail woven by makers in the northeast, where the technique has been passed down for generations.

Runners are often woven to order and ship in about three to four weeks. Genuine handwoven cloth shows small irregularities — a slightly uneven edge, natural colour shifts — and comes from a named artisan. Each listing tells you who wove it and where.
