Aran Raglan Super Soft Merino Wool Sweater Women's Irish Cable Knitted Pullover Made in Ireland

This Ladies Irish Multi Cabled Super Soft Merino Wool Raglan Sweater from Aran Woollen Mills is a beautiful modern take on the traditional Aran sweater design. Made from 100% merino wool, we think it will soon become a staple of any woman’s winter and fall wardrobe. The sweater is hefty enough to be a layer on its own, but slim enough to be worn as a layer under a jacket. It can be paired easily with a skirt or pants and offers a beautifully complex knit motif. The central panel of this sweater features a beautifully complex cable weave that highlights the complexity of Irish knots, a feature of Irish art and design that dates back to pre-Christian times in Ireland. The cable sleeves extend all the way to the neckline with the beautiful raglan shoulders of this sweater. As one of the oldest artistic motifs in Ireland, these infinite knots symbolize the interconnectivity of all things in the universe while simultaneously representing the eternal nature of live on earth. This wonderfully braided pattern showcases the best of these knot designs as applied to knitwear, a tradition that dates back at least a century on the remote Aran Islands.
