What makes our Women's Wool Aran Sweater with Buttons special is how much of a story it carries in its stitches. The cables run thick and strong, said to be inspired by the ropes fishermen once relied on, symbols of safety and endurance. Beside them sits the basket stitch, a pattern that has always stood for plenty and good fortune.
The feel of it is just as memorable. Made from 100% SuperSoft Merino wool, it’s warm in the way only natural wool can be. There’s a gentleness to it, you pull it on and it’s immediately soft against the skin, light enough to breathe but thick enough to keep the cold out. It’s the kind of sweater you find yourself reaching for without thinking, whether it’s a frosty morning walk or a slow evening at home. If you want to make it even warmer, pair it with our Irish Leaf Wool Scarf.
The collar gives it character. Raised and chunky, it frames the sweater beautifully, and the two football buttons are as stylish as they are practical. On days when the wind bites, buttoning it up feels like tucking yourself in. Leave it open, and it relaxes into an easy, casual look.
And then there’s the fact that it was made in Ireland, stitch by stitch, by people who know this tradition better than anyone. You can see the patience in it, the steadiness of hands that have learned this work from generations before.
