About Merino Wool
Merino wool comes from merino sheep, a special breed of sheep that produces this fine wool. All types of wool are warm, durable, water repellent, and insulating; however, 100% wool or lambswool has a rough, itchy texture that can make it uncomfortable to wear next to the skin. Merino wool is softer and lighter than other forms of wool and still features all the best qualities of wool.
- Merino wool is breathable, keeping the wearer warm without trapping in the heat.
- Merino wool has less pilling than other wools.
- Natural anti microbes in merino wool means that it stifles bodily stink.
- As all wool is, merino is durable, warm, and water repellent!
About the Aran Knit
The Aran knit gets its name from the Aran Islands, located off of the coast of Galway. The Aran Islands are sparsely populated and starkly rocky lands that are the last stop off the Western coast until Boston. The women there are credited with designing these intricate sweaters for their families. There are a lot of legends about how the knits originated; some people says they designating certain families, others claim that they represent the symbols of their everyday lives, and still others say the previous are myths. The only thing for sure is that these beautiful sweaters, once intricately knit by hardworking and creative Irish women, are unmistakably Irish and incredibly stunning!
