Ric Rac Mix & Match Napkins
Designed by Elisabeth (Lisa) Hill
Ric Rac is a term for zigzag braided trim, and used as an accent, offers a perfect solution to the easy/hard dilemma in weaving. Large sections of fast, easy, Plain Weave on a straight eight threading with little breaks of Supplemental Weft color and pattern play keeps boredom at bay, and provides ample opportunity for “bobbin busting” and exploring different color combinations. Weave all the variations for a set of coordinating napkins or choose your favorite variation and weave multiples. Order a kit.
