Description

‘Christy Crios’ belts are Woven using Donegal wool in vivid purple, bright blue & white colour, this is a modern take on an Irish heritage craft. Hand crafted to use as a belt, a guitar strap or a hand fasting braid to ‘tie the knot’. 95 inches in length. IRISH BELT CHRISTY CRIOS An Irish Crios (pronounced Kris) is a multi-coloured woven woollen belt. Traditionally it is woven from wool of six colours, often with a white border. The belts were worn by the men of the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. The Irish word for a belt is ‘crios’. The Crios as we know it, was traditionally woven by the Aran Island women, using their feet to stretch the warp for weaving. These Irish Belts, are an iconic part of our textiles heritage. CELTIC HANDFASTING BRAID The Celtic Tradition of Handfasting is the practice of couples committing to each other by having their hands tied together using a crios braid, and exchanging rings and vows in a traditional non-religious ceremony. The term we now know as ‘tieing the knot‘ has its roots in this celtic marriage practice. We love to receive photographs of happy couples ‘tieing the knot’ with our CHRISTY CRIOS. There is so much heritage wrapped up in this knotted Irish belt, which is often framed and becomes a feature in their home.

About Liz Christy

Min Order £0 | 6-8 weeks

Republic of Ireland

Liz Christy, Wearable Art ~ Inspired by Art. Essentially Liz Christy Scarves are slow fashion, high quality, distinctive gifts to be worn and enjoyed. As gifts they are a pleasure to give and a joy to receive. As a textile designer and hand-weaver, my fabrics are inspired by Art, from paintings to poetry. The natural world stimulates my creative energy. Luxurious hand-woven scarves for men and women are my signature designs. Time goes into the unhurried crafting of every piece. All are woven on foot powered looms. Ours is an artisan production workshop surrounded by the green drumlin hills of the Monaghan countryside. I hand-dye some of our yarn and each scarf is carefully hand-knotted in the old-fashioned way. Then handfinishing brings out the luxurious softness of the fibres. With care and gentle handwashing, they will become tomorrow’s heirlooms.
