Echoes of Heather and Stone

  Join Carol Feller for the exclusive launch of her new book: Echoes of Heather and Stone here at This is Knit.    This Saturday sees Irish designer Carol Feller return to This is Knit to launch her latest book Echoes of Heather and Stone and we are very excited about the launch party. There are spot prizes and discounts and, of course, a book signing. But before we get into all that let's have a little look at Carol's latest book:

Echoes of Heather and Stone

Echoes of Heather and Stone is a timeless collection of 8 garments and accessory handknits inspired by Ireland's ancient past. Ireland has a rich history and geography that has inspired artists and crafters for generations. As an introduction to the collection, each designer describes their thought process and design inspiration in their own words.

Carol explains “ For this book, I invited seven talented designers to draw inspiration from this deep well of living heritage. I didn’t want to produce just another book of Aran sweaters. I wanted designs inspired by Ireland on a deeper level, combined with each designer’s personality and aesthetic to become something beautifully unique. ”

Launch Party

Carol will be presenting the full Trunk Show of patterns from the book and you will have the chance to get your copy signed afterwards too. You will be able to try on the garments and also to see the intricate details on Newgrange, Talamed, Trittico and  Ahenny as well as help to create your own coordinating colour choices for Epona, Knowth and Aine.     If that wasn't enough we will also have a special launch discount of 10% off the RRP of Echoes of Heather and Stone for the event, plus a special offer on the exclusive "Woollinn" shade of Nua yarn.  Each print edition of the book comes with a complimentary digital copy. Please note that there is a booking fee of 5 euro for the event but this will translate as a 5 euro credit against any purchases made on the day.  Head on over to our booking page here to nab your place for this Saturday.   If you missed our impromptu Instagram Live with Carmen from A Yarn Story on Saturday and you would like to see some of the garments of Echoes of Heather and Stone up close and personal then pop on over to our IGTV channel and you can catch a replay here.    If you can't make the event itself don't forget we will be live tweeting and Instagramming (it's a verb right?) from the event so don't forget to follow us on our social channels to keep up to date. You can still pick up the book from us right here, and if you enter a request in your order comments then we will ask Carol to sign it for you on Saturday before shipping...   So what are you waiting for? Come on over and join us for a wonderful launch party and you never know, there might even be cake!
