Narrow black lines divide the colourful compartments, while a broader black surround frames the elongated design. A hooked “1941” panel and small American flag motif distinguish one end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palette combines muted purple, forest green, ochre, cream, brown, grey, blue and soft rust red. Alternating stripe directions create movement within the regular grid. Each compartment contributes its own texture and colour balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGeometric Blocks and Alternating Stripes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorizontal stripes sit beside vertical bands throughout the field. Some blocks contain broad areas of colour, while others combine narrow contrasting lines. Cream sections provide quieter intervals between the darker greens, purples and browns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black divisions keep these varied patterns clearly separated. Their consistent outlines give the arrangement a quilt-like appearance without making it a patchwork construction. The design comes from the hooked surface rather than joined fabric panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral compartments combine mottled dark and pale strands. Others use simple pairs of colours, such as green and cream or purple and grey. These differences give the long composition a varied rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAmerican Flag and Hooked Date\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small flag motif occupies one corner of the field. Pale and rust-red stripes sit beneath a blue canton with small light marks. The motif forms part of the hooked design rather than a separately attached decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the opposite corner of the same end, rust-coloured numerals read “1941”. A blue inner outline surrounds the cream date panel. Narrow coloured bands connect this feature with the neighbouring striped blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe date panel gives the runner a distinctive focal detail. It also adds a personal element to an otherwise repeated geometric composition. No maker’s name is included in the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHand-Hooked Texture and Runner Proportions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wool surface has closely arranged loops with visible differences in height and texture. These variations soften the straight divisions between the blocks. The black border follows a slightly irregular handmade outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 208.2 × 76.2 cm, the runner has a long, narrow format. It can add colour beside a bed or through a connecting passage. The graphic design also works well against plain flooring and simple furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of muted colours and dark outlines gives the pattern clarity without a bright overall effect. Warm wood and neutral textiles complement the cream, brown and rust passages. Green and purple blocks introduce cooler accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage condition with uneven surface wear, localised thinning and areas of exposed foundation. Loop height varies across the patterned field. Some blocks show more pronounced loss and worn lines than neighbouring sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe edges have waviness, small projecting loops and irregular sections along the black surround. The date and flag motifs remain legible. Detailed photographs show the texture, worn areas and border condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDate: 1941, incorporated into the hooked design\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: United States\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Wool\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handmade, hand-hooked\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Geometric grid of striped blocks with American flag and date panel\u003cbr\u003eColours: Purple, green, cream, ochre, brown, grey, blue, rust red and black\u003cbr\u003eShape: Rectangular runner\u003cbr\u003eBorder: Black surround\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 208.2 × 76.2 cm \/ 6 ft 10 in × 2 ft 6 in\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uneven wear, localised thinning, exposed foundation and irregular edges\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 1B1050\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hooked date and flag transform a repeated block pattern into a memorable individual textile.
