Echoes of Heather and Stone is a timeless collection of 8 garments and

accessory handknits inspired by Ireland's ancient past. Ireland is a

small nation, on a small island, but with a rich history and geography

that has inspired artists and crafters for generations. The book uses

Stolen Stitches ‘Nua’ yarn that has a subtle palate that allows each

design to shine. The designs use different levels of knitwear techniques

allowing the knitter to add to their existing toolkit as they work

through each exquisite pattern. As an introduction to the collection,

each designer describes their thought process and design inspiration in

their own words along with supporting essays on Ireland’s heritage and

locations by Nadia Seaver and photography by Joseph Feller .
