Traditional Aran Sweater (Unisex) - Coloured
KILDARE MERINO CREW NECK SWEATER (Unisex)
This traditional Irish crew neck sweater is one of our best sellers. It follows all the traditional Irish Aran stitching patterns that have been passed down from generation to generation, which in olden days told stories of families and life in Ireland.
The centre panel of the body features the honeycomb stitch, signifying the hard working bee or the hard working fisherman. The honeycomb is also a symbol of good luck. On either side of this centre panelling there are rows of Aran cable stitches which resemble fishermen's ropes, the link to life.
This is a very comfy, easy to wear unisex sweater in soft merino wool.
- 100% Merino wool
- Made in Ireland
- Colour: Charcoal, Denim and Army Green
Care Instructions
Like all our knitwear, we highly recommend washing this garment by hand only, with cold water and Woolite.
Add a capful of Woolite to a basin/sink of cold water and swizz it around. Then place the garment in the water, making sure to squeeze it through for a minute or so. Then leave the garment to soak for about 5 minutes only.
Then rinse by hand with lots of cold water.
You can then pop it into the machine for a quick spin only. When the garment comes out of the machine it will nearly be dry already. No need to dry flat or wrap in towels like people did in the old days. Simply hang the garment up to dry, like you would do with a T-shirt. It'll be dry in no time.
This is a tried and tested method over many decades...it even works with fine designer knits! Woolite is an excellent product that will help maintain the colour and quality of this garment, which we hope you will enjoy wearing for a very long time.
