Inis an Ghaill Duibh, knit with an Irish homespun tweed yarn, brings to mind the hard life of the Viking inhabitants in the 8th and 9th centuries in this settlement. The cabled pattern provides additional texture. Wrap yourself up tightly, add a large brooch, and ward off the cold, damp winds off the ocean.
