A narrow strip of cloth is commonly referred to as a RUNNER. It is usually long and thin, and can be used for a variety of purposes. Runners are often used to decorate tables, as they can be draped over the length of the table and provide a decorative touch. They can also be used to protect surfaces from scratches or spills, or to provide insulation from heat or cold. Runners are available in a variety of materials, colors, and patterns, making them a versatile and attractive addition to any home.
