Our charming cardigan is a modern take on the traditional style of Aran. Finely knit of 100% merino wool, this piece is not only incredibly soft, breathable, and warm but also durable and highly resistant to moisture - the ideal combination to provide long-lasting comfort. This cardigan can be worn all year round due to its great heat-insulating properties - it will keep you warm and cozy during cold, windy days, and dry and cool on those hot summer days. The cardigan is beautifully designed with authentic Aran cable and basket stitches. Inspired by the ropes and baskets used by the brave Irish fishermen, the stitch represents the ideas of strength and steadiness. These stitches were traditionally incorporated into various knitwear pieces by the wives of the fisherman to provide extra warmth and a wish for good fortune and safety at sea. This merino cardigan has a deep and bold V-neckline design, making it a great layering piece, and includes two functional front pockets and wooden button closure. For the best results, hand wash this Merino garment in cold water and dry it on a flat surface.
