Ladies Traditional Aran Cardigan

Keep warm with an authentic Irish look with our Ladies Traditional Aran Cardigan. Crafted using the finest 100% Merino wool, our cardigan is incredibly soft and wonderfully warm. Natural and sustainable, Merino wool is a surprisingly versatile material, as it can be worn both in the winter and in the summer due to its heat-insulating and moisture-wicking properties. This cardigan is inspired by a time when Irish fishermen of the Aran Islands braved the open seas, and wore raw wool sweaters as protection against the harsh conditions. By using authentic patterns which originated on the remote Aran Islands off Ireland’s west coast, we ensure our high-quality knitwear provides ultimate comfort, warmth, and amazing depth. The texture acts as an insulation layer which keeps the cold out, while also allowing for air circulation to avoid overheating. Beyond the functionality of Aran stitches lies profound symbolism: this cardigan showcases a beautiful variety of the cable stitch, a symbol of good fortune thought to represent the fishermen's nets and ropes. The design is complete with elements such as ribbing and two small patch pockets. The ribbed neckline, cuffs, and waist add durability and create a refined appearance, while the pockets on the front sides ensure you always have a way to keep your hands warm. The garment features traditional brown football button closures, a round neckline, and is available in natural white, grey, and green. Whether as a birthday present for family and friends or as a token of your love and affection, our Irish cardigan is an excellent choice for a gift. Made in Ireland by SAOL, this culturally inspired cardigan is a wonderful way to showcase your Irish pride while looking stunning.
