Astrid has also written 2 books on the project, the most recent being the gansey knitting sourcebook. the ganseys were designed by Astrid and Janice as the ‘uniform’ for the crew of the Williams II when it sailed around Britain in 2019. Almost 600 knitters living around the world took part in knitting ganseys for the crew. You can catch up with Astrid and Janice on the gansey project stand at our 2026 show, part of Wonderwool Wales, one of the most loved yarn festivals celebrating wool & natural fibre creativity.
