Ganseyfest

International Gansey Seminar

1st and 2nd October 2011, Inverness

A celebration of our fishing heritage and ganseys - the beautifully crafted, patterned sweaters traditionally worn by fishermen.

We had superb speakers covering a whole range of interconnected topics, workshops to challenge and inspire, wonderful, interesting, enthusiastic delegates, traders with mouthwatering displays of yarn, a range of displays and demonstrations, and a large gansey exhibiton, plus a stunning fashion show, all in a superb venue with really helpful staff.  Our thanks to all those who helped to make this a successful weekend.
