Women's Irish Aran Wool Knit Sweater

Elegant cable knit design I bought in Ireland from Aran Sweater Market. The style is cosy and warm and perfect for those cold Winter days or chilly Spring/Summer nights. It’s easy to wear style also means it can be worn open casually or closed for a more elegant look. Aran wool sweaters originated in the early 20th century on the remote Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland, where local women hand-knit them from unscoured wool to provide their fisherman and farmer husbands with durable, water-resistant garments that could withstand the harsh Atlantic weather. Each intricate stitch pattern, like the cable or honeycomb, was originally symbolic of family identity and wishes for safety and prosperity. Natural, Organic & Easy-care Made in Ireland of 100% Soft Merino Wool Comes with signed and stamped Certificate of Authenticity from Ireland’s Aran Sweater Market.
