Aran Sweaters from Ireland
|
| Aran knitwear is as valued today as it was in medieval times, it had a significant presence in literature in the past, you can find it in the Book of Kells for example, it is said that in the Book of Kells Daniel was depicted wearing an Aran jersey with socks to match! As a tribute to its staying power you'll also find it in the biggest blockbuster movie of them all "Titanic", watch as the old lady recites her tale, to an attentive Bill Paxton wearing one of "Carraig Donn's Own", finest Aran Sweaters, it's style number is A825 for all you film buffs out there. The same style is available in our range today! |
| Originally, whilst their womenfolk spun the wool from natural fleece the fishermen knitted the garments using goose quills for needles. They created patterns of great beauty, simple, as befitted those who lived so close to nature, but symbolic and dignified. Study the stitches in any Aran garment and you'll find they are an allegory to a way of life with each stitch being steeped in symbolism: they are an Irish heritage . |
