\"Bl\u00e5 h\u00f8ns\" (Blue Hens) \u2013 table runner \u2013 Else Thordur Hansen (ETH) is a decorative embroidery featuring a simple and graphic motif. Two hens face each other at the lower part of the runner, rendered in clear blue tones with colourful patterns in their wings.<\/p>\n
The motif is composed with a calm and symmetrical arrangement. The two hens form the central focus, while a simple embroidered border along the edge frames the runner. Small cross motifs within the border create rhythm and give the embroidery a light ornamental character.<\/p>\n
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread, which provides clear colours and a distinct stitch structure. The blue tones of the hens are combined with green, yellow and red details that highlight the wing patterns and bring life to the motif.<\/p>\n
The design was developed for Haandarbejdets Fremme and is embroidered on Linen 7U from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The fabric\u2019s structure gives the embroidery a clear and characteristic appearance, where the cross stitches stand out distinctly.<\/p>\n
The table runner adds a colourful and folkloric expression to the table setting. The hen motif introduces a light decorative reference to rural traditions and classic Nordic embroidery.<\/p>\n\n
