Handwoven by Liz Christy
Liz looks to nature for colour inspiration.
Her creations use cotton, wools, angora, mohair
and some man-made fibres. Everything is made
in her Swallow Studio in Annyalla.Craftswoman Liz Christy from near Castleblaney in Co.
Monaghan is passionate about yarn and a signature fleck
made by Donegal yarn in particular. It shows the beauty of
real heritage, she explains. “Its randomness is what makes
it feel special.”
Donegal Yarns is one of the country’s last traditional hand-spun yarns.
Her range of hand woven Celtic tweed scarves offer a lustrous tactility while her Bragan bouclé, one style in her designer scarf collections, won the 2009 Essence of Ireland Award for its contemporisation of traditional lace making.
