Irish Jumpers Made in Ireland: Our Top 5 Styles
Written by Lulu O'Sullivan
Hi everyone. I hope I find you all well. One of the questions our customers ask most is, "Which Irish jumper should I buy?" So I've picked our top 5 styles, from a classic women's Aran crew neck to a men's half zip, and explained what makes each one special.

An Irish jumper made in Ireland carries more than a label. It's knitted by Irish makers who have kept the Aran tradition alive for generations, using stitch patterns that first appeared on the Aran Islands in the early 1900s.
Here's what you get when you choose a genuine Irish-made jumper:
- Authentic Aran design. Traditional stitches like the cable, diamond and honeycomb each carry a meaning from island folklore.
- Quality wool. Our Aran and fisherman jumpers use natural fibers such as soft merino and pure wool, which are warm, breathable and long-lasting.
- Craftsmanship that lasts. A well-made Irish jumper can be worn for decades and handed down.
- A real piece of Ireland. Every jumper ships directly to you from Ireland.

Caring for your Aran jumper
Caring for an Irish wool jumper is simple:
- Air it between wears; wool naturally resists odors.
- Hand wash in cold water with a mild wool detergent, or dry clean.
- Never wring, machine wash or tumble dry.
- Reshape and dry flat, away from direct heat.
- Store folded, never on a hanger.
