Blasket Honeycomb Stitch Aran Sweater
Why We Love It
Product Details
Honor generations of Irish design with our Blasket Honeycomb Stitch Aran Sweater.
This sweater is crafted from 100% Merino wool, a premium yarn that is ethically sourced from Merino sheep. Merino wool, renowned for its softness, resilience, and wrinkle-free nature, makes this sweater an ideal choice for those seeking both comfort and sustainability. Its great moisture-wicking and heat-insulating properties ensure you stay cozy and stylish throughout the year – in both cool summer evenings and chilly winter days.
The richly textured design displays the intricacy of Irish craftsmanship and knitting traditions, while also adding meaning to this garment – as each stitch carries unspoken blessings for good luck, wealth, prosperity, and protection. The cable stitch resembles the fishermen's ropes and symbolizes safety and good luck. Likewise, the basket stitch represents the fisherman's baskets and is thought to be a symbol of big catch and success. The beautiful honeycomb stitch represents the diligent bees, their hard work, and the sweet rewards of their labor. These stitches were originally created to enhance insulation for raw wool sweaters worn by Irish fishermen. The dual advantage they provide – of both breathability and great heat insulation – made it easier to counter the harsh conditions of the Atlantic. Our Blasket Honeycomb Stitch Aran Sweater is crafted using the same traditional technique, ensuring optimal warmth without overheating – so you can stay cozy in any weather.
The classic crew neck makes this Aran sweater great for layering with other items such as a shirt or a turtleneck, and the ribbed cuffs, and hem provide a snug fit for anyone.
Made in Ireland by Aran Woollen Mills, this sweater is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and authenticity. Whether for yourself or looking for a unique gift for a dear one, our Blasket Honeycomb Stitch Aran Sweater is sure to be anyone's new favorite.
