Embroidered items or decorative pieces made using crewel yarn and embroidery techniques.
Formed by adding the suffix '-ery' (meaning collective items or a place of practice) to 'crewel,' similar to how 'pottery' refers to ceramic items and 'embroidery' refers to embroidered pieces.
Victorian homes were filled with crewellery—embroidered cushions, chair covers, and wall hangings—and it represented wealth and taste because creating these pieces by hand took months of skilled work.
