The 'Here Lyeth' Cushion Cover
Handmade and Embroidered Irish Derrybeg Kilcarra Tweed Donegal Yarn Cushion Cover with Velvet Back
Add heritage texture and quiet storytelling to your home with our Here Lyeth Cushion Cover, a handcrafted piece that blends traditional Irish textile heritage with contemporary interior design.
The front panel of the cushion features the beautifully textured Derrybeg Kilcarra Tweed Donegal Yarn. Known for its distinctive flecked colours and exceptional warmth, this heritage wool brings softness, comfort, and tactile richness to the design.
Embroidered delicately in the corner are the words “Here Lyeth”, an old phrase that echoes through Irish gravestones and folk memory. It is a simple, poetic expression that connects us to the voices and stories of generations past.
The Story Behind “Here Lyeth”
The phrase “Here Lyeth” is often found carved into historic Irish headstones, marking the resting place of someone whose life and story remain part of the landscape and community.
In Irish culture, memory and storytelling are deeply intertwined. These words carry a sense of quiet reflection — a reminder that every life leaves a mark, and every story becomes part of the history we share.
This cushion transforms that phrase into a subtle piece of textile storytelling, bringing a small piece of Ireland’s cultural language into the home.
The reverse side of the cushion features a rich deep blue velvet, offering a soft, plush finish that brings depth, warmth, and character to sofas, armchairs, beds, and reading corners. The deep tone pairs beautifully with both modern interiors and classic Irish textiles.
Irish Textile Heritage
Each cushion cover is carefully handcrafted in our Wicklow studio, combining traditional Donegal textiles with thoughtful contemporary design.
The deep blue velvet front pairs beautifully with the earthy flecks of Derrybeg Kilcarra Tweed Donegal Yarn, creating a cushion that feels timeless and full of character.
