Aran to cashmere
Ireland has a worldwide reputation for knitwear and woollen goods, so it makes a fantastic hunting ground for something to keep out the cold.
Aran to cashmere
Traditional Aran sweaters have a unique style all of their own, while designers such as Jimmy Hourihan are turning out elegant capes in a mix of cashmere and wool. Good places to seek out traditional Irish knitwear are Kilkenny Design, Blarney Woollen Mills, Dublin Woollen Mills and Avoca Handweavers.
Mind you, if you're looking for something more contemporary, then try the internationally renowned Irish knitwear designer Lainey Keogh or cashmere designer Lucy Downes’ Sphere One collection.
