Men's Aran Wool Accessories

We have a special fondness for our collection of Aran knit scarves, which showcase the exquisite knit designs that were developed in the isolated Aran Islands in the 19th century. To keep fisherman warm during their arduous days on the Atlantic, these patterns—which include cable knits, diamond, and honeycomb patterns—were created. As a natural insulating layer, the three-dimensional knit patterns would capture the chilly wind-driven air and warm it with body heat before recirculating it. Irish <a href=”https://www.aransweatersdirect.com/womens-clothing/womens-irish-woolen-scarves-ireland/”>wool scarves</a> still function largely the same manner today, and they also preserve the history of one of Ireland’s last remaining cottage industries. When you offer an Aran scarf, you are giving the gift of a hardy Irish ancestry.
