Carefully knit with 100% Merino wool, this Irish sweater ensures unmatched softness, comfort, and high durability - it is strong enough to hold up to a lot of wear, guaranteeing to be part of your wardrobe for many years to come! Besides its sturdiness, merino wool is a great heat insulator, as well as breathable and moisture-resistant, keeping you warm when temperatures start to drop and dry during those hot summer days.

Taking inspiration from the traditional Aran sweaters from the late 19th century, this knitwear piece is an ode to Ireland’s knitting heritage. Our sweater is enriched by authentic Aran stitches - these knit patterns are full of meaning and richly textured. The cable and basket stitches resemble the ropes and baskets used by the Irish fishermen, symbolizing strength and steadiness, as they had to remain strong to return home to their families safely. The honeycomb stitches are a tribute to the bee industry that was prolific on the island and represent the idea of sweet rewards after hard work. Last but not least, the diamond texture suggests a prayer for wealth and success. What makes these stitches even more special is their practicality as they were commonly knit to add an extra layer of warmth, while allowing air circulation. This traditional cable knit merino wool sweater is knitted using the same Aran techniques, keeping you protected from the cold and humidity all day long.

This knit sweater features a cozy turtleneck that is designed with buttons for added practicality and warmth, making it a great layering piece that can be worn smartly with an elegant shirt or casually with a pair of jeans. The inclusion of ribbed cuffs and hem assures a secure fit and extra coziness for those windy days. Whether a special treat for yourself to remind you of your heritage or a unique gift idea for a dear father, brother, or husband, this Irish sweater is the epitome of cultural authenticity and comfort. Show off your cultural background everywhere you go with this charming Traditional Cable Knit Merino Wool Sweater!
