For centuries, wool was England's most precious jewel. But behind every fleece was a person- a shepherd, a spinner, a weaver, a dyer; highly skilled in their job and praying they would have enough work to last a lifetime.
This heritage knitting poster celebrates the 17th century woollen industry, and the ordinary people who made England extraordinary.
Whether you're an admirer of textile history, a knitter with a passion for the craft's roots, or a collector of heritage prints, this reproduction of an engraving by Frederick Hendrik van Hove, originally published in E. Lipson's The Woollen and Worsted Industries (The Histories of English Industries, 1921), is a tribute to the makers who came before us.
