Irish Crios-Tara Gild

Description

Christy Crios – Irish Handwoven Belt – Tara Gild

Named for the Hill of Tara, seat of Ireland’s ancient High Kings, the Irish Crios-Tara Gild celebrates Ireland’s heritage and craftsmanship. Handwoven with glimmers of gold and natural wool, it carries a quiet sense of pride and enduring beauty.

Handcrafted using rich Donegal Tweed wool.

Traditionally, the Crios (pronounced “Kris”, plural Crioseanna) was woven from six strands of coloured wool, often finished with a white border and worn by men of the Aran Islands, wrapped around their tweed trousers. This modern interpretation blends tradition with a personal story.

Each Christy Crios is handwoven at Swallow Studios on a vintage floor loom, rescued from a property in County Sligo. Passed on with the hope it would “go to a good home,” the loom now hums with new life. Liz continues the ancient craft of crios weaving, keeping it alive and thriving.

Woven with Donegal Tweed wool, this crios is a versatile piece—perfect with jeans and a cosy jumper, or as a meaningful handfasting braid for wedding ceremonies.
