Learn all about the techniques used for knitting ganseys with this comprehensive sourcebook from experts in the subject, Di Gilpin and Shelia Greenwell. Di and Shelia are knitwear designers and makers based in Scotland where they teach regular workshops on traditional gansey techniques.
Discover all the techniques you need to make an authentic gansey sweater with their special features which were developed for warmth and comfort in what were often, harsh conditions out at sea. Ganseys were designed with a special under arm gusset and a shoulder seam which prevented chaffing and improved movement for the wearer even when the jumper got wet and heavy.
The authors explain these techniques with step-by-step instructions and artworks so you can replicate these details in your own work.
