Christy Crios – Irish Crios Belt – Summer Garden
This Irish Crios Belt Orange/Yellow/Pink is handwoven at Swallow Studios. Our hand-woven Irish belt is called a Crios. It is designed with a flash of lovely hot summery colours through white Donegal wool. The pronunciation of ‘Crios’ is ‘Kris’. ‘Crioseanna’ is the plural. Traditionally woven from six different-coloured wool, the Crios often have a white border. The men of the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland, wore the crios, bound around the waist of their tweed trousers.
Liz weaves the ‘CHRISTY CRIOS’ on a loom she inherited from a property clear out in County Sligo. The shed’s owner wanted the two-shaft floor loom ‘to go to a good home’. So, Liz happily obliged and used the loom to perfect the design and weaving of ‘the crios’. Liz’s friend and mentor, Kitty Joyce of Cleo Ltd, encouraged her to keep this craft alive. ‘CHRISTY CRIOS’ are handcrafted with beautiful Donegal tweed wool.
