Classic Aran Cable Cowl Neck Poncho

This beautiful cable poncho is available in Natural white and Charcoal and features intricate cable stitching detail on the front panel, with a contemporary geometric ribbed pattern on the back and sides. The classic cable stitch was developed by Aran Islanders in the west of Ireland to add a bit of heft to the sweaters of working fishermen and help trap the heat of the body in natural wool fibers better than a traditional flat knit style. Today, the cable patterns are renowned for their heritage, beauty, and eye-catching texture. This Classic Aran Cable Cowl Neck Poncho is made in Ireland by Saol, one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality contemporary knitwear in Ireland. The poncho is 100% merino wool, making it soft and warm, without the scratchiness often associated with some of the original Aran sweater styles. The chunky cowl neck gives a look of elegance and makes it easy to layer while keeping you toasty. Hand wash only using lukewarm water and mild detergent, reshape, and lay flat to dry.
