Irish Aran Sweaters

The Aran Fisherman Sweater takes its name from Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer – the Aran Islands, on the West Coast of Ireland.

The Aran Fisherman Sweater continues the age-old Celtic tradition of the wives and daughters of fishermen knitting rugged garments for their husbands and other family members to protect them against the harsh struggles of daily life at sea on the wild and stormy Atlantic Coast.
