The popular digital creator, knitter, and comic Hannah Civita of @woman.in.wool is seeking knitted, crocheted or FELTED green-coloured wool squares or rectangles made by women in the textile community. These will be sewn together as part of a larger project, a giant St Brigid’s Cloak.

The details:

  • The wool need not be Irish-raised, but it should be sheep fibre.
  • The square/rectangle should be a shade of green.
  • It can be knitted, crocheted, felted, or even embroidered!
  • The minimum size is 8″/20 cm by 8″/ 20 cm.
  • A female must be the maker of the square/rectangle.

Deadline: Sometime before the end of the year.

Please mail your green wool textile to the following address: OOH93917576, Gateway Student Village, Ballymun, Dublin D09 T9XZ

For additional information, listen to the lovely interview from the 29th of September, where Hannah chats with Doireann Garrihy about the project on RTÉ 2FM: https://www.rte.ie/radio/podcasts/7fc97d03-c8fa-4c77-896d-b4d400be5052-2fm-mornings-with-doireann-garrihy/
