Why You Should Own Aran Sweaters

Aran Sweaters is a fashion of sweaters, which takes its name from an Aran Island off the western coast of Ireland. The sweater is traditionally white in color, using cable designs on the shoulders and sleeves. The sweater is a very comfortable sweater to wear and is easy to care for. When buying your Aran Sweaters make sure that they are lightweight, so that they don’t weigh you down when you are walking briskly or running. They are machine washable, if you use a gentle cycle and can be ironed if they get wrinkly. They are generally very durable and will last you for a number of years provided that you take good care of them.

The Aran Islands are located off the western coast of Ireland and are one of the main tourist areas of the Isrish west coast. The people of Aran have adapted many different traditional styles of dress including their ownellery, clothing and Sweaters. Some of these traditions include having their babies wrapped in blankets made out of Aran Sweaters which they carry in their arms until they are finished growing. These blankets are still being hand woven today. Another tradition is that of wearing Aran Sweaters with patterns sewn onto them, these patterns would often relate stories or legends from the islands and would bring good luck to the wearer.
