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 Fishamble Street in Dublin, Ireland - the current city of residence of the designer. Fishamble Street is a small, slightly-curved street that comes up from the River Liffey on Wood Quay. The street was the historical location of Dublin’s fish market until the end of the 17th century.
