Sword Fern & Horsetail Runner

This weaving kit includes all the yarns needed to weave this Sword Fern & Horsetail Runner that was designed by Cynthia Newman for Handwoven March/April 2020.

Walking through a lush green forest in the Pacific Northwest is a calm retreat.  This runner was inspired by sword fern and horsetail on a recent walk that Cynthia Newman enjoyed.

We think you will enjoy these calming colors of organic naturally grown cottons in shades of greens that portray this calming atmosphere.
