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 woven to order, and each listing carries the lead time. Genuine handwoven cloth shows small irregularities — a slightly uneven edge, natural colour shifts — and each listing tells you the technique used and the province it was woven in.
