Blue Elk or Pink Elk, and how long?
Neither colour is the traditional red-and-green route, which is the point of this one. All four lengths are 13" wide, so length is the only measurement you need — table length plus the drop you want at each end.
| Choose | If this sounds like you |
|---|---|
| Blue Elk | Your house isn't a red-and-gold house. Cool blues, white walls, silver or glass on the table — this reads as a winter scene rather than a Christmas set. |
| Pink Elk | You want the festive table to be warm and a bit unserious. Works especially well with timber, blush candles and mismatched plates. |
| 13"×79" | A four-seater, or a sideboard you want fully covered end to end. |
| 13"×86" or 13"×102" | Six seats, with the tassels hanging clear over both ends rather than sitting on the tabletop. |
| 13"×118" | Eight or more seats, or a table you pull the extra leaf into once a year. |
With tassels, size up rather than down. Fringe resting on the tabletop is the one outcome that looks like a mistake.
Tassels near candles and a full dinner table — anything to watch?
Yes, two things, and both are avoidable in about five seconds of setup. Fringe hangs over the edge, which means it's at exactly hand and sleeve height when people sit down.
| Works on | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Dining tables, sideboards, consoles and mantel shelves | Open flames anywhere near the hanging fringe — keep candles central |
| Cool gentle machine wash, away from zips and hooks that can snag the tassels | Hot tumble drying, which knots and shortens fringe unevenly |
| Warm iron on the body of the runner, tassels off the board edge | Ironing over the fringe, which flattens and glazes it |
The step people skip: combing the fringe straight with your fingers while it's still damp. Thirty seconds then, or ten minutes untangling it dry on the morning of the dinner.
A Christmas table that doesn't look like everyone else's Christmas table.
By mid-December every dining room in the country has gone red and green, and if that's not how your house looks the rest of the year, it feels like putting a costume on the room. This runner takes the same festive imagery — pine trees, elk, tassels — and puts it in blue or pink instead. The seasonal signal is still completely clear, but it sits with the furniture you already own rather than fighting it, which is why it tends to stay out well past the twenty-sixth.

Why the tassels earn their place rather than just decorating
Fringe on a runner isn't only ornamental. A plain hemmed end stops flat against the table edge and, if there's any breeze or anyone leans on it, slides. Weighted tassels pull the ends down over the edge, which holds the whole runner in position and keeps it lying straight through a long meal instead of creeping sideways every time someone reaches for the potatoes. They also give the runner a defined end point, so a slightly-too-short length still looks intentional. The thing to check on any tasselled textile is whether the fringe is worked into the edge or tacked on — tacked-on fringe sheds on the first wash and by the second year one end is bald.
- Blue Elk — cool-toned, snowy. The right pick against white walls, glassware and silver, or in a room that already has blue in it.
- Pink Elk — warm and softer-edged. Best on natural timber, and forgiving of a table where the crockery doesn't match.
- 13"×79" — four seats, or full coverage on a sideboard.
- 13"×86" — four to six seats with a modest drop.
- 13"×102" — six seats with the tassels hanging properly clear.
- 13"×118" — eight or more, or an extended table at full length.
