SAOL Aran Poncho Irish Cape Women's 100% Merino Wool Cowl Neck Sweater, Made in Ireland100% Merino WoolIrish Aran Cable Chunky KnitCowl Neck Collar Large Poncho
Irish Design - The chunky knit is reminiscent of the earliest Aran fishermen’s sweaters, made to keep fishermen warm as they worked on the harsh Atlantic seas. Knitted from 100% merino wool, this poncho is a far cry from the originals in just about every other respect, being super soft to the touch and non-irritating to the skin. The cut of the poncho is resolutely modern, with a contemporary cowl collar that can be layered over a tee or collared shirt.
100% Merino Wool While its fine fiber diameter pampers your skin with softness, its ability to trap dead air and wick away moisture allows it to provide excellent insulation from the cold and keep you comfortably dry. Merino wool withstands years of constant use, maintaining the newness of color and the firmness of the knit quality. To enjoy it even longer, follow the wash instructions on the label. Store for winter together with some dried lavender to help keep moths away.
Aran Knitting Patterns The Aran knitting patterns are full of rich meaning and dramatic narrative. Much of them are inspired by the Celtic knot work pattern. It is believed that the fishermen who went on their dangerous voyages from the Aran Islands, viewed the knot work as a source of inspiration, and good luck.The cable pattern stands for a fisherman’s ropes and represents the wish for safety and good fortune at sea.
