Alice Starmore, as quoted on her website: "Dunadd has become a defining symbol of my work as a Scottish textile artist. As with many of my designs it began with a notion of place, history and culture which I translated into doodles on a blank sheet of paper. From there I polished them into finished motifs and then further translated them into textile media. The strength and power of the emblems turn a simple knitted wrap into a noteworthy piece of textile art, and, by the same token, the simple knitted wrap allows the art to be displayed, worn and used in any number of ways. This is a truly versatile piece to embellish your home or keep you stylishly warm."
