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 scarf design is named after Capel Street in Dublin, Ireland. Capel Street is a small, pedestrianised street full of nice shops and restaurants that comes up from the River Liffey on Ormond Quay.

The pattern calls for DK weight yarn as the recommended yarn. Any wool-based DK weight yarn is recommended for the pattern.
