Delve into the rich tradition of Gansey knitting in this advanced workshop at Debbie Bryan. Designed for experienced knitters with prior experience knitting in the round, this session explores the history and heritage of the iconic fisherman’s garment. Participants will learn about traditional patterns from across the British Isles, discover appropriate yarns and tension for Gansey knitting, and gain insights into designing and knitting their own pieces. Tanya, an award-winning knitwear designer with extensive expertise in Fair Isle and Gansey techniques, will guide you through this intricate and rewarding craft.
