Aran Sweater Irish sweater Fisherman sweater Wool sweater Handknit A little history - the fisherman sweater, also called an Aran sweater, is a heavier knit garment originally created as workwear for fishermen on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. Each of these different textures/motifs symbolizes elements of island life, like the Honeycomb for hard work or the Diamond for prosperity. That’s part of why these sweaters are so special - they carry deeper meaning than meets the eye. Its dense, layered patterns also helped trap body heat while staying breathable - so you’ll be cozy in cold climates, without overheating when you step into warm spaces indoors.
