Traditional Irish Merino Wool Sweater
This sturdy cable knit sweater is knitted in the most famous pattern in Aran Knitting. The sweater has a round neck and can be worn by both men and women (please note that the sizing is based on men's sizes). The sweater is made of 100% wool and offers pleasant warmth during the colder days or on a cool summer evening in the garden.

The sweater is knitted in various Irish Aran stitches, which were believed to bring good luck, success and health to the wearer. The honeycomb refers to the hard working honeybee and the Aran basket stitch brings good luck. The diamond is said to bring wealth. Either way, this sweater is a beautiful addition to your collection!

Washing instructions
Wool is a nice material to make clothes from because it is antibacterial and odor-resistant. Wool clothing therefore does not need to be washed often. Hang the garment outside occasionally so that it can freshen up. If you do want to wash the garment, we recommend Texelana Wool Detergent . Never rub hard when hand washing, to prevent felting. Always check the label in the garment for the washing instructions. Always let wool clothing dry flat.
If you treat your wool garment in this way, it will not only stay nicer and last longer, but by airing instead of washing, you also save the environment.
Storing woolen clothes
We recommend that you store your woolen clothing clean, possibly with a bag of lavender; this keeps the moths away. It is also best to store woolen clothing lying down, so that the elasticity of the wool is not affected.
Pills and fluff
Wool can pill or fluff through use. This has nothing to do with the quality of the wool. Pilling is a natural phenomenon that is mainly caused by friction. Wool consists of many hairs with a natural crimp (curls). Friction can cause the wool to pill and felt. With felting, the hairs join together through friction. In fact, every movement causes friction. You will often find the fluff/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.
New clothing may sometimes still have some loose hairs left behind after the weaving and knitting process.
Pills and fluff on your beautiful (merino) wool clothing are unfortunately unavoidable. We have some tips to delay this process somewhat and how to remove the fluff and pills. For this information we refer you to our blog.
