Hand-drawn threadwork Kerry Border Linen Traycloth
Hand-drawn threadwork Kerry Border Linen Traycloth
Hand drawn threadwork is exceptional when it is featured in tray cloths. It pairs well with a tray made of a warm cherry wood, for example. It allows the colours of the wood to pass through the threadwork area, building on the threadwork, and making it very easy to appreciate.
Kerry Border is named after County Kerry. Kerry is one of the most scenic areas in Ireland and is therefore understandably one of the most significant tourist destinations. Famous for the Ring of Kerry and the Lakes of Killarney to name but a few of its better known sites.
