Description

Gorgeous Aran Islands stitching, including the intricate Tree of Life pattern, brings texture to this super soft merino wool cardigan. Knitters have always added individual flair to the things they make for loved ones. When Aran Islands craftswomen began selling their creations to visitors in the early 20th century, the symbolism of their unique stitch vocabulary took on a life of its own.

With an open front and insert pockets, this luxuriously soft long wool cardigan is wonderful for snuggling up on a chilly morning and looks elegant when dressed up with jewelry and a polished pair of slacks.

I have several machine-knit Irish sweaters from different companies and two handmade from the Aran Islands. It is not fair to compare this to the handmade, of course. But even compared to the others, I am just not sure this measures up. There is no variety in the stitches and I wish it at least had a button at the neck or hook and eye on the body to close it. However, the length is great. To return it I have to pay shipping, which is crazy for such an expensive item. I am still thinking about it, but it is definitely not one of my instant favorite Irish sweaters.

I've always wanted an Irish wool sweater. This is just perfect. You can wear it with just about any top. True to size. I ordered a 2XL and it fits perfectly. I would highly recommend.
