Summer Solstice Placemats
Designed by Jennifer E. Kwong
These Basketweave placemats draw their inspiration from the colors of the summer night sky during the longest days of the year. Basketweave is a variation of Plain Weave with doubled warp and weft threads, which emphasizes the texture of the weave structure and the saturated colors of Duet Cotton/Linen. The light and airy fabric invites warm weather gatherings and the feeling of simplicity that comes with the summer season. Order a kit.
