Stonewash Log Cabin Placemats or Runners

Log Cabin is a kind of color-and-weave effect.  The order of color in the warp, and the order of color in the weft, are what make this pattern pop out of the fabric.  It appears to be an intricate structure, but it’s just plain weave. What makes the color squares appear in the color order?  Think of the threading and weaving as color blocks.  Block A will be threaded black, color, black, color.  Block B will be threaded the opposite with color, black, color, black.  You will also follow this same color sequence in the weft by alternating black, color, black, color for Block A, then color, black, color, black for Block B. I especially like log cabin when weaving placemats and runners.  With this pattern I’ve given instructions for either four placemats or two runners, but you can choose to weave different size mats.  There is at least 102” woven length to work with, so you can plan your placemats and runners according to what size you prefer to make.
