This Poncho features the traditional moss stitch as well as the popular cable design styled in a horizontal fashion. The Moss Stitch was said to suggest a good harvest. It depicts carrageen moss, a type of seaweed found on the western coast of Ireland which was used as a food and fertiliser of the barren fields of the island. This stitch is rarely used in isolation but rather used as a filler stitch in-between the more popular Aran Patterns. A modern trend with a classic Aran twist, this poncho is great paired with jeans and boots or a full flowing skirt for a more bohemian chic approach. Made in Ireland of 100% Soft Merino Wool Beautiful Aran Cable Knit design Natural and organic fibres help to regulate your body temperature In excellent used condition. I believe I purchased the parsnip color.
