The Aran Sweater – Stitches in Time
October 8 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join Vawn Corrigan for a slide show presentation exploring the fascinating history of the Aran Sweater. From its rocky island roots it eventually spanned the globe to become a symbol of Irishness. Feted on the catwalk, worn by celebrities yet always homely, the classic Aran design has held its own through generations. It carries the story of the people. Shaped to provide income during times of unemployment, knitting Arans was once our most significant cottage industry.
After the slide show there will be a show-and-tell of vintage Arans so if you have one please bring it along!
Note: Limited spaces, booking essential.
