Embody centuries-old Irish traditions with our Ladies Traditional Aran Cardigan! Our cardigan is crafted from 100% Merino wool, a cozy, soft, durable, and heat-insulating material that is great for year-round wear. Cabled sweaters have been an important part of Irish culture since the late 19th century when Aran Islanders began knitting them to wear while fishing out on the Atlantic Ocean. The detailed Aran stitches on our cardigan carry important meanings.
The cable pattern is a representation of the fishermen’s ropes, a symbol of good luck and abundance at sea. The trellis stitches and moss allude to Irish landscapes and traditions, whereas the honeycomb alludes to the prolific bee industry of the Emerald Isle. This lovely Irish wool cardigan takes the classic Aran shape and makes it slim for a stylish, feminine fit. Fastened by brown football buttons, the cardigan is ideal for layering, whether open over a blouse or closed to keep out the cold. The small front pockets offer plenty of space for keys, phones, or chilly hands. Ribbing at the crew neck, cuffs, and waist of the sweater add texture and make a lovely contrast to the larger cables that decorate the cardigan.
Ideally crafted to fit any elegant lady, our cardigan can be paired with a matching Aran beanie for the ultimate Irish look! If you wish to impress the lovely lady in your life, or make a truly wonderful present to those who appreciate Irish heritage, our Aran cable cardigan is exactly what you need!
