They were originally knitted with wool and dyed with woad. They were a real symbol of identity with each pattern specific to each fishing village. It is said these helped identity those who lost their lives at sea, or so the fishermen's tale goes. There also featured the wearer's initials within the knit. They were a real product of sustainable and durable design, but unfortunately there are only a few still worn today.
