In The Closet: Edel Macbride Part 2

Date: 2018-08-23

This week on "In The Closet" Edel Macbride tells the tale of Aran stitches.

There is an urban myth that Aran jerseys (or sweaters) were made with special stitches to identify the wearer's family or clan and that bodies of unfortunate fishermen were identified by the stitches of their Aran jerseys.

Edel explains where the myth evolved from and what is more likely the truth.

Edel Macbride is a master craftswoman leading the revival of knitting skills from her studio in Donegal, Ireland.
