Description
This handmade worry doll keyring brings a tiny woven figure to your keys. Each doll is made by hand in Guatemala from cotton thread and cibaque, a natural fibre. It wears a brightly coloured woven skirt, a little top and a wrapped headscarf, with a simple face. The doll hangs from a short metal chain on a round metal key ring. Overall it measures about 10cm long, 3.5cm across and 1.4cm deep, with the doll itself about 5.5cm tall, so it sits neatly in a pocket or bag. This is an assorted line: we send one doll chosen at random, so the colours and pattern of yours will be a happy surprise.
Because every one is made by hand, no two are quite alike, and that is much of the charm. Thread it onto your house keys, a car key, a rucksack zip or the handle of a work bag, and it adds a cheerful flash of colour wherever you go. It weighs next to nothing, so it never drags at a pocket. A worry doll has a gentle, homely appeal, and this one makes a thoughtful little gift tucked into a card or added to a larger present.
The figure is made from cotton thread and natural cibaque fibre, and the ring and chain are metal. As it is made of thread, keep it away from the wet and from sharp edges that might snag it. If it gathers dust, a gentle brush with a soft dry cloth is all it needs. Hung on its own rather than squeezed among a heavy bunch of keys, the wrapping tends to stay neater for longer. We like one hanging from a hall hook with the spare keys, or on a bag strap where its bright skirt peeks out. As a pocket-sized present it slips easily into an envelope.
