Description
Bring a touch of Scandinavian heritage to your home with the Ekelund Tomtebyn Table Runner. Designed by Swedish artist Betty Svensson, it captures the whimsical charm of a "Tomtebyn," or gnome village. Woven in Sweden, this runner reflects the Ekelund family's weaving legacy, which dates back to 1692. It serves as a beautiful centerpiece on its own or layered over a tablecloth.
Design and AppearanceThe detailed Tomtebyn pattern features charming gnomes engaged in winter activities. Rendered in classic Scandinavian colors of red, gray, and white on a natural cotton background, the design is perfect for holiday gatherings or for lovers of folk art year-round.
Fabric Quality and TextureWoven from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, this runner has a substantial, premium feel. The dense weave gives it a satisfying weight, allowing it to lie flat and smooth while protecting your table from minor scratches and heat from warm plates.
Care and Durability- Washing Instructions: Machine wash warm (up to 60°C or 140°F) with similar colors. Do not use fabric softener.
- Drying Instructions: Hang to dry or tumble dry on low. Iron on high heat while the fabric is still damp for a crisp finish.
- Colorfastness: The runner is woven with high-quality, colorfast dyes designed to maintain vibrancy through repeated washings.
- Shrinkage: As a 100% natural cotton product, expect about 5-6% shrinkage after the first wash.
This table runner is available in one size: 35 cm x 120 cm (approximately 14" x 48"). The Tomtebyn design is part of a larger Ekelund collection; look for matching kitchen towels and placemats to create a cohesive tablescape.
