Influenced by the raised, ridge beds for potato growing and the deep grykes cross-hatching the limestone pavements on the island, we have used a bold linear rib to design a variety of novel styles for our Autumn/Winter 2024 Ridges and Walls Collection. The Ridges Aran Gansey gives a nod to Aran Islands traditions without being a traditional cabled Aran Sweater. The ridges create a feeling of modernity and restraint, decorating only the top body area as was often the case in the original fisherman sweaters. A seamless 2 by 2 rib neckline ensures additional warmth and comfort, and the loft of the ridges have created breathability in a slightly lighter weight than our signature Aran Sweaters.
Newly available in popular colourway Charcoal Fleck, a versatile dark grey elevated with warm orange and snowy white highlights; and Burgundy Fleck, a rich shade of maroon elevated with bright flecks of crimson red, orange and electric blue. Designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Islands workshop.
