Had the pleasure of visiting Inis Oírr 22 years ago, it was a wonderful place to visit. Its a wonderful gift to us that these traditions survived on through to living memory there on the edge of the world

Thank you for posting this important documentary on handmade clothing. Where did the ladies find the black and red, etc. dyes? Was the dye purchased? Did the designs on the 'Galway' shawls have a particular meaning? Were ancient motifs used? Was covering the head done because of cold weather, or was it prescribed by the church, or both? I would love to see a program about how everyday household furnishings were made- houses, bedding, linens, furniture, cooking items, votive objects, looms, etc.

I’d love to learn how to knit a cloud shawl. It looked like the women were knitting large red garter stitch squares but it was hard to tell.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It is so hard to find accurate information especially since the name Aran has become associated only with sweaters.

Great to see people passing on their language to the youth of their community. Is this Gælic? Anyone care to clarify?
