Our Aran Supersoft Merino Poncho with Cowl Neck is a modern take on an Irish classic that you will love. Featuring a stunning array of Aran cable stitches, this poncho carries deep cultural significance and is a 5-star product from our Irish Shawls and Ponchos collection. The cable stitch, originally knit into the sweaters of Irish fishermen by their wives and mothers, was believed to bring good luck and protection at sea. But beyond its symbolism, these stitches also enhance warmth and airflow, shielding them from the harsh Atlantic winds. Now, you get to enjoy the same craftsmanship in a timeless, stylish piece. Knit from 100% Supersoft Merino wool, this poncho is a dream to wear. Softer than regular Merino, it offers exceptional warmth, moisture-wicking properties, and incredible durability - perfect for crisp autumn days or chilly winter evenings. Plus, Merino wool is ethically sourced, making it an eco-friendly and cruelty-free natural fiber choice. The chunky cowl neck gives a cozy feel, while the sleeveless design allows for effortless layering and freedom of movement. Whether you wear it over a fitted blouse for a polished look or throw it on over a casual sweater for that cozy, laid-back vibe, this poncho is as versatile as it is elegant. Proudly made in Ireland, this piece celebrates a rich knitting heritage while fitting seamlessly into the modern wardrobe.
