AUTHENTIC ARAN SWEATERS
The iconic Irish sweater, also referred to as the Aran sweater, takes its name from the trio of islands of the same name; Inishmore, Inishmann and Inisheer, just off the coast of County Galway, Ireland.
Throughout the 1930s and 40s, they gained popularity around the world. When Grace Kelly appeared in an Aran sweater on the cover of Vogue in the 1950s, this humble Irish sweater was catapulted to iconic status, cementing its reputation as an Irish design classic.
Today it remains a fashionable staple and has become an iconic knitwear style. These are popular with men and women around the world due to their unique textures. Aran sweaters have stood the test of time and will continue, so don't miss out and order yours today!
Irish Wool is renowned for its durability, warmth, and comfort, making it ideal for fall and winter fashion and weather conditions. Each sweater is expertly crafted with the finest wool yarns to ensure you get the highest quality!

What are Aran sweaters?
Aran sweaters are traditional Irish garments; each stitch steeped in symbolism and folklore.

Typically, an Aran sweater features four to six stitch patterns arranged in vertical columns, with one prominent pattern at the centre.

What is the history of Aran sweaters?
Born out of necessity, Aran sweaters were originally crafted for fishermen braving the wild Atlantic around the Aran Islands. The first sweaters were made from unwashed báinín wool (báin meaning white in Irish), rich in natural lanolin, making them water-resistant and insulating.
