Hi everyone. I hope I find you all well this week. It’s no secret that one of our favorite topics here at The Irish Store is the much-loved Aran sweater. Although it started its journey as a garment of neccessity for fishermen made from untreated white wool, it now comes in a wealth of gorgeous colors inspired by Ireland’s rich landscape.
From the lush greens and golden hues of the Wicklow Mountains to the stormy grays of the Cliffs of Moher, the colors of Aran sweaters reflect the rugged beauty of Ireland’s land and seascapes.These iconic knits draw inspiration from rolling hills, wild coastlines, and rocky cliffs, weaving the essence of the Emerald Isle into every stitch.
Colors of Aran
One of the most iconic shades found in Aran sweaters is mossy green. This hue captures the essence of our beautiful countryside, where native flora thrives.
Our beautifully crafted Ardara Cable Sweater celebrates the classic cable stitch and comes in a soft green reminiscent of Ireland’s patchwork fields and grassy slopes.
Complementing this are golds and yellows, inspired by the gorse and wildflowers that dot the hillsides, especially in the sping and summer, when the land is awash with golden hues.
Add pop of spring color to your wardrobe with this on-trend cardigan for her. The ochre shade is simply irresistible and the cropped length and lantern sleeves give this piece an unmistakably modern feel.
The Irish coastline is another major influence on Aran sweater colors. Deep ocean blues mirror the wild Atlantic waters that crash against the Cliffs of Moher, while stormy grays reflect the rugged limestone formations of the Burren and Ireland’s big skies. These tones bring to life the dramatic and rugged spirit of Ireland’s west coast.
Our 5 star favorite cardigan for him comes in this stunning ocean blue. The fleece lining gives extra warmth while the traditional stitch patterns celebrate the rich tradition of Aran craft. Perfect for bracing beach walks and country strolls.
Classic cream, the most traditional Aran sweater color, represents the natural, undyed wool once worn by the island’s fishermen. Traditional, timeless, iconic.
Our bestelling lightweight Aran for her is the perfect spring layer. A true classic that never dates.
Every Aran sweater is a tribute to Ireland’s breathtaking scenery, carrying with it the colors and spirit of the land. Whether wrapped in the greens of hills and mountains or the grays amd blues of the wild Atlantic coast, wearing an Aran sweater is like carrying a piece of Ireland with you wherever you go.
