Aran is a style of sweater, a garment that originates with our Celtic cousins as it takes its name from the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Often known as a 'Fisherman sweater' they are distinguished by their use of complex textured stitch patterns, several of which are combined in the creation of a single garment. Each Aran sweater exudes history and every stitch pattern has a traditional interpretation and distinctive story, some are said to bring luck, good fortune and safety to the wearer.
Aran sweaters are made using dedicated sustainable methods and with many eco-friendly qualities. The wool used is 100% natural, no synthetics used, this also makes it biodegradable (though it won't return to the land for a very long time). The breathable nature of the wool we use means every piece stays fresher for longer, ultimately meaning it doesn't require to be washed too often.

Don't be afraid of going for a looser, more comfortable fit. Aran sweaters often look better when they're not tightly hugging the body.
It is very important that you hand wash your Aran garments in clean, lukewarm water. Use a mild and gentle detergent suitable for wool. They should be carefully reshaped when wet and dried flat, away from direct sunlight.
