Irish Historical Textiles is about delving into the cloth,
yarn, and fabric of Ireland’s past, one blog post at a time. How old are
Aran jumpers (sweaters)? What role did Irish crochet play in the famine? Did
people knit their own clothes two hundred years ago? What does ‘traditional’
really mean? The real answers to these questions are far more exciting than the
popular myths that abound.
