Details

This cozy merino wool cardigan sweater is a virtual sampler of Irish Aran knitting patterns. Each pattern symbolizes an aspect of local fishing culture: Celtic rope for Irish pride; fisherman's cable for safety on the waters; basket stitch for a plentiful catch; and diamond, the shape of a fishing net, for success. The warm wool is renowned for its extremely soft hand, providing warmth and comfort without the itch of lower-quality fibers.

"Super Soft Comfy Cardigan."

Having knitted many of these jumpers in my young adulthood in Scotland, I can attest this is beautifully knitted. It has been knitted on larger needles than I used to use, which makes it drape more. Thankfully I looked at size chart and reduced my usual Medium to a Small. The sleeves are still long and ample as a small. I washed before wearing and it came out perfect, drying flat. Colour is lovely. The buttons are tastefully chosen. I look forward to many years of use. Slainte

"Great sweater!"

This is a cheerful looking sweater that I got for my Irish Mom. Something to keep her warm and easy to get into, and out of!

"The perfect Irish Cardigan"

This is a lovely, thick, but not unfeminine sweater. So warm and soft, and the 2XL doesn't assume you have arms the length of an orangatan. The red is beautiful--not lipstick red, a bit more muted.

Best Uses
  • Great layer, professional, travel

"Stunning!"

This is probably the most beautiful sweater I have ever owned. The wool is so soft and it is very, very well constructed. One note: I ordered the ice blue color and received a royal blue sweater. Luckily I much prefer the color I got! I give this sweater a 100% guarantee!

"Runs v large"

I am a small to medium, but the small was way too big on me. I was also expecting a denser, more rugged fabric, like traditional Aran sweaters, but I guess Americans like all their knits to feel the same?light and smooth. Not my size and not to my taste.

"Beautiful handwork and warm"

My Mom was a knitter so I have have seen many examples of fine work. This is a very high quality. The various stitches used are beautiful and well done. And no loose dangly ends that have not been tied off inside. Even the inside of the sweater has had attention to detail. The buttons are also a nice quality. I don?t feel this sweater was rushed and mass produced when I look at and wear it. The fiber is also high quality. I often itch with cheaper wools. I still wear a thin silk undershirt under this sweater, but the parts which do touch my skin do not itch at all. It is also very warm, which is why I chose it. I am tired of the flimsy sweaters in stores which do not keep me warm. I love the oatmeal color, it goes with everything. My one regret is that it did not come in an XS. Or, I wish it was just a bit more narrow. I am a small woman and I do like that I can layer with it, but wish it was a little more narrow. It is still one of my favorite sweaters for a cold winter day.

"Great Quality"

I love this sweater and have received so many compliments on it, so I ordered a second one in size small; however, this size small is much too large. The sleeves are so baggy, about twice the size of my arms. They are more appropriate for a very heavy person. Please tell your artisans to size this properly and I will definitely purchase another one.

"2nd. time for me."

I wore my first one for about 10 years. I loved it so much I bought another. Just different color. I received more complements on my first sweater than any other I have ever owned.

"Great Sweater!"

I have tried to replace an old faithful Irish wool sweater for some time. I found just the right thing in this sweater! They run in generous sizes. Medium was fine for me. Love it!

"Beautiful sweater!"

Just wore this for the first time yesterday, and people noticed! It's a beautiful collection of different knitting stitches that gives it a wonderful and interesting texture. Buttons are a bit farther apart than I would have liked, but otherwise it's just what I was looking for--color (oatmeal), warmth (I live in upstate NY), size--a touch smaller than I expected for an XL--I like them huge!-but I expect it will 'relax' with time, so it's fine.

"Perfect for a cold winter day!"

This is a perfect winter sweater. It runs really big. I wish I would have ordered a size smaller. That is the only reason the rating is not 5 stars. The pattern and color are beautiful. It has quickly become my favorite sweater!
