In their introduction to European Folk Art, Robert Wildhaber and Hans Jürgen Hansen stress the need for further studies into this most significant but neglected subject.1 They then proceed to reject totally the popular nineteenth-century view of folk art as an expression of nationalism, arguing that the arts of any region or state all follow great international stylistic movements, although their detailed application may vary considerably even from one village to another. This paper seeks to illustrate and endorse these concepts through the study of the knitting sheaths of England and Wales, first defining their use, materials and distribution, and then discussing their significance within a European context
