These are three monochrome table runners that were hand woven using a cross-twill technique. They are made of half-linen, which is a combination of linen and cotton fibres.

Weaving luxury into daily life
- • Michaela-Stefanie uses linen and cashmere
- • She has looms in three different rooms of her workshop
- • She trained in the workshop owned by her parents since 1953
To embellish and design rooms has been Michaela-Stefanie Karle's passion ever since she can remember. She planned on studying architecture after completing her apprenticeship in weaving. However, she soon realised that design rooms and spaces can be done with beautiful textiles, so Michaela-Stefanie decided to complete a very classical training in textiles instead. She followed a two-year apprenticeship in her parents' master weaver business and took the journeyman examination in 1981 via her vocational school. In 1989 she achieved a craft master diploma at the Stuttgart Chamber of Skilled Crafts. Michaela-Stefanie then took over her parents’ workshop which has been open since 1953. It is the only house that has been allowed to continue its weaving activities in the former flax growing area of Aichwald.

Table linen in raw and natural colours
The light grey table runner is made from linen by using the cross-twill technique. The same technique was used for the napkin using unbleached and bleached linen which is contrasted by narrow grey stripes.

This fine napkin is inspired by spring and the delicate blossom of the sea thrift, which is pictured on the napkin as well. Stripes in yellow and blue tones give a special touch to the cross-twill base weaving. Michaela-Stefanie Karle's favourite cup by Kathrin Ritzi-Schaufelberger is on top of the napkin.
