Hand Weaving and hand knitting have both been popular in Ireland since the 17th Century, originating in the West of Ireland. The designers at Belleek have been inspired by the rustic but beautiful patterns found in both traditional hand weaving and hand knitting. Each unique pattern originates from different families and holds its own name and story. Galway Weave is complemented by accent patterns, such as Cable, Tree of Life and Fisherman which can be mixed to enhance your table.
