Mam knitted prolifically over many years, producing an extraordinary range of jumpers, cardigans, hats and baby clothes, including shawls and bootees. Her work showed great variety in colour, pattern and design, and only a very small part of what she created is represented here.
She also knitted Aran sweaters professionally for a number of companies, with garments made for sale both at home and abroad. Her knitting travelled widely in other ways too, worn by children, grandchildren, relatives and others far beyond the house in which it was made.
