Aran

Aran is a traditional Irish clothing style characterized by a woolen sweater featuring intricate, textured cable-knit patterns. Originating from the Aran Islands, these sweaters were historically worn by fishermen for warmth and durability, with each cable pattern often symbolizing elements like safety or prosperity. The craftsmanship involves complex knitting techniques that produce thick, resilient garments, blending functionality with cultural heritage. Today, Aran sweaters are popular worldwide as timeless, cozy fashion pieces that reflect Ireland’s rich knitting tradition and maritime history.
