GUEST,buspassed arran sweaters - a sad loss (61* d) RE: arran sweaters - a sad loss 25 May 20


I'm pretty sure when Hull Maritime museum mounted their Gansey exhibition there was a display panel explaining the identifying role of the patterns. The fisherman's wives I'm sure Would prefer the return of a loved one for a decent burial rather than the thought of the alternative.

On Bridlington harbour there's a statue called The Gansey Girl depicting a young woman knitting and up the coast in Flamborough there's a lady who knits Gansys to order. It seems Americans pay large sums to acquire them.
