There is nothing like a genuine Aran Knit to keep you warm … and ahead of the fashion pack … this season.
Unlike other ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ style trends, the Aran has survived because it is timeless and so gorgeous! And the world agrees with Hollywood royalty and celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, Steve McQueen, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and many, many more proudly adding the distinctive cable knit to their everyday sartorial uniform.
The Aran Sweater, named after its place of origin on the Aran Islands off the West Coast of Ireland, was first created many generations ago. The Islanders who lived on these islands, dependent on both fishing and farming, passed down this garment from one generation to another. The sweater is now known as a symbol of Irish heritage, each stitch representing a different aspect of life on the islands, such as the Cable Stitch representing a wish for a successful day at sea and the Diamond Stitch symbolizing the small fields on the islands. The unique Tree of Life Stitch, found only on the earliest examples of Aran knitwear, is a reflection of the importance of family and a desire for unity and strength.
