What is a Fisherman's Gansey?
Welcome to listen to lectures with
Anna Josefsson
Sunday 12/10 at 10.30 – 11.30
A Fisherman's Gansey is a knitted functional garment with a rich history!
Anna Josefsson has delved into the culture of fishing sweaters in the North Sea region and has documented how they have been knitted and used. Here she tells more about the sweaters' traditions, garment construction, and knitting techniques.
The fishing sweaters from the different locations around the North Sea have both similarities and differences. Each garment has its own history – symbols, colour and choice of yarn vary. Ganseys have been worn by fishermen and sailors around the British Isles and the English Channel. Historical ganseys are often named after the places where they were documented and different areas of Britain have developed different styles and patterns.
Anna grew up by the sea in Bohuslän and has a lifelong interest in knitting, especially garments used at sea. With over 15 years of experience as a course leader and a pedagogical degree in her background, Anna combines her knowledge of textile techniques with a passion for ganseys. She has taught at knitting festivals and textile events both in Sweden and abroad. She creates textiles and teaches various techniques in her company Vinterverkstan, but is also a seaweed diver, fisher and teaches biology.
