Designed in Dublin, Ireland.

Aran cable knitting originated off the west coast of Ireland within the boundaries of its namesake home, the Aran Islands – a neat group of Gaeltacht isles nestled in the cold, restless waters of the Atlantic; their history long, rich and holding tight to an Irish-speaking status to this day. It is here that the ‘Aran Jumper’ hails from, this notable knitwear incorporating the very techniques created in inspiration from the surrounding environment.

This jumper design is named A Stóirín, which means “My Little Treasure” in Irish - a term of endearment that Irish women call their children. The name is in honour of two lovely Dublin women - Mary and Yvonne, who knitted this jumper pattern for their sons.

This jumper also features the blackberry/trinity stitch as its centre panel, a traditional aran knitting stitch that can’t be made by a knitting machine - the mark of a hand knit aran jumper.
