The most popular southwestern place mats and western table runners, in Navajo designs, each combine beautiful colors and patterns. Not only is a southwest table runner enjoyed for its great beauty, but also the skill involved in hand weaving. The makers of hand woven table runners are highly skilled and start the runner by kneeling in front of a vertical wooden-framed loom. The designs are then put into place by using a shuttle to weave different colored yarn together. At one time, Navajo rugs as well as those of some other Southwest Indian tribes were made of hand spun cotton thread. After domestic sheep were introduced to the area by the Spanish settlers, the people began using durable wool for their traditional weaving, then colorful placemats and table runners.

Today, many of the modern southwest table runners are made in areas where Spanish and Native American histories come together to create one-of-a-kind designs.
