And Another Christmas Table Runner from The Quilt Yarn

Finished my second Christmas table runner displayed here as a festive wall hanging (easier to photograph that way).

It comes with a thread 'sock' rather than a net. I was unsure whether to remove that, but here it is...a word of warning! Be extremely careful when you remove it because the thread instantly untangles from the cone and gives you a bit of a mess. There is nothing you can do other than to unwrap it to the point where you only have one thread hanging off. Of course ...
