Ladies Merino Wool Aran Patchwork Sweater

In a true celebration of Irish heritage, this ladies Aran patchwork sweater utilises the magic of cable knit design.

Made from luxuriously soft merino wool, this jumper is made for warmth and long lasting style. The Aran jumpers were originally made for fisherman, and the makers would introduce different cable knit patterns with their own symbols of luck or prosperity for the wearer. This sweater is covered in good luck knitting charm, with the honeycomb stitching for abundance, the diamond for wealth and success, the traditional cable for safety and luck at sea and finally, the moss stitch, meant to represent seaweed being akin to fertiliser to symbolises abundant harvests. Not only does this jumper exude tradition, the roll neck provides styling versatility and the oversized shape and dropped shoulder brings a contemporary touch to a traditional design.

About Merino Wool

Known as the softest of all wools, merino is sourced from merino sheep, a breed which originated in mediaeval Spain. The fineness of wool is measured in microns, with typical thicknesses of 29 to 35 microns. Merino is usually 22 microns thick and can be much finer, explaining its sublimely soft handle. It's also a superb insulator, often used in high-performance layers for outdoor sports.
