First published in 1951 and long out of print, Old Hand-knitters of the Dales presents a detailed story of the hand-knitting industry, a strong factor for the population of the remote Pennine dales for three centuries. Based on original research, material is drawn from Yorkshire and Westmorland, with a chapter devoted to the hand-knitters of Dent, who achieved the most fame.
