Looking for a timeless layering piece with an Irish story to tell? Check out our Shawl Collar Aran Cardigan that brings Irish heritage, quality craftsmanship, and a timeless style in one beautiful package. Featuring traditional Aran stitches like cable and basket, this cardigan isn't just about style - it's steeped in symbolism. The cable stitch reflects the strong ropes of Irish fishermen, while the basket stitch represents their baskets. Both are symbols of hope and good fortune for the wearer, blessings woven into the canvas. These stitches, admired today for their texture and beauty, were originally crafted with purpose. Designed to help fishermen brave the harsh Atlantic elements, Aran stitches improve the air flow and make the garment more breathable and heat-insulating. Using this same traditional technique, our cardigan offers functionality and comfort that stands the test of time. Made from 100% Merino wool, this cardigan is soft, warm, and ultimately durable. The organic, ethically-sourced wool is moisture-wicking and heat-retaining, keeping you warm without overheating. Perfect for chilly days, it's a wardrobe staple you'll reach for again and again, season after season. With a sophisticated shawl collar, a full button-up front with football buttons, and subtle ribbing at the cuffs and hem, this cardigan is endlessly versatile. Layer it over a crisp shirt, a turtleneck, or even a simple T-shirt for effortless style. Crafted by skilled artisans in Ireland, this piece brings history, warmth, and versatility to your wardrobe.
