Gifts from Ireland


Beautiful Aran Knitwear


The Aran sweater is a traditional garment of Ireland, a country, to the North West of Europe.

If you owned an original hand knitted Aran sweater or jacket, you would be delighted!

Why, you may ask yourself?

Because,

  • You'll enjoy years of wear with one of these beautiful hand knitted sweaters or jackets.
  • When you wear your aran knitwear, you'll have to be prepared for all the compliments you'll get.
  • You won't need to wear a heavy coat, when you're wearing your aran jacket.
  • You'll be able to wear your aran for many months of the year.

Aran knitwear is hand knitted in a natural coloured, oiled yarn. The knitwear is so durable that you would hand it down to the next generation(s). It is also very protective in the cold climates, making it a great purchase for three of the seasons of the year.

The knitwear is very distinctive in its design. Legend has it that each family used to create their own designed garment and when a fisherman drowned, his family would be able to recognise him by the design on his sweater.
