SAOL 100% Merino Wool Women's Aran Zip Cardigan Sweater Irish Cable Knit Hooded Coat Jacket Made in Ireland

Saol Hooded Cardigan Sweater is made entirely from soft merino wool, a material that is warm and insulating. Thanks to the natural, organic nature of the fibers, however, it’s also lightweight and breathable, making it an idea choice for wearing over lighter ensembles during the warmer months. And, as if it couldn’t get any better, it’s also hypoallergenic and non-irritating -- so you can wear it all day, every day, no matter how sensitive your skin might be. This gorgeous Aran knit coat beautifully showcases some of the most traditional stitch patterns of the islands, including the cable stitch. This pattern was originally developed as a symbol of luck and protection for the island fishermen, who worked long, often treacherous hours out on the open sea. On close inspection, you’ll notice that the stitch itself is actually highly evocative of the appearance of a fisherman’s rope -- something we can promise is far from a coincidence! Stylish yet practical, this merino Aran coat is a fantastic purchase as a treat for yourself, and also makes a comfy and stylish alternative gift for any woman or girl in your life with a special place in her heart for the rich history and cultural heritage of the Emerald Isle. Surprise her with it for Christmas, a birthday, or even “just because” -- no matter what, she’s guaranteed to fall every bit as in love with it as we are here, and treasure it for many a long and happy year to come!
