Book Description | Irish Aran knitting is a living tradition with a worldwide reach. Arans communicate warmth, comfort and a sense of home, which people the world over continue to respond to, even though the connection to our rocky outcroppings in the Atlantic Ocean may be long forgotten.Aran grew up in the harsh environment of the Aran Islands where everyday wear consisted of home-spun fabrics and knits.Today Aran survives as part of a rich craft heritage and as high and slow fashion on the catwalks of the world.Vawn Corrigan explores the history, mythology and growth of this iconic design in this beautiful and informative hardback book. |
