This cotton table runner made in India arrived very quickly. The color is called "artichoke," which is a blend of sage and beige. It goes great with my other dining room colors. The weave is very thick and coarse so rather sturdy. I need to steam the folds out of it, and it will be ready to go! There are some small blemishes in the weave. I attribute this to hand-weaving. I like that quality and that it is 100% cotton,  a natural fabric. I have many friends who weave, and this looks like something artisan-made. We will enjoy this for a long time.
