Irish knit garments are more than just clothing - they carry stories, tradition, and craftsmanship in every stitch. This Cable Knit Lumber Cardigan with Wooden Buttons is one of those pieces, inspired by the classic Aran fisherman sweaters that have been part of Irish heritage for generations. This cardigan features cable and moss stitches, each carrying a profound meaning. The cable stitch represents the fishermen's ropes, believed to bring luck and protection. The moss stitch, inspired by the Irish mossy cliffs, symbolizes growth and abundance - a connection to nature and its never-ending richness. While these stitches are now admired for their textured, eye-catching look, they were originally designed for practicality, providing enhanced insulation and breathability to keep fishermen warm in the harsh Atlantic climate. Our cardigan is made using the same time-honored techniques, offering optimal warmth. Our cardigan is crafted from 100% Merino wool, a yarn that's organic and ethically sourced from Merino sheep. Thanks to this premium yarn, our piece is incredibly soft, warm, and moisture-wicking, ensuring comfort in chilly weather. The wool is ethically sourced and treated with SAOL's anti-shrink technology, making it machine washable without losing its shape. With its hip-length cut, classic crew collar, and rustic wooden buttons, this lumber-style cardigan is the perfect layering piece for transitional seasons. It also features ribbed cuffs and hem for a snug and cozy fit, and 2 patch pockets in front to help you store essentials. Whether styled with jeans for a casual look or draped over a dress for a cozy, cottage-core aesthetic, it's effortlessly versatile. Crafted in Ireland by skilled artisans, this cardigan is part of our authentically Irish knitwear collection. Explore the entire selection for more heritage-inspired pieces!
