🧵 What Is Merino Wool?
Merino wool is a natural fiber sourced from Merino sheep, renowned for its exceptional softness, breathability, and insulating properties. Unlike traditional wool, Merino fibers are finer and smoother, making garments more comfortable against the skin. This makes Merino wool an ideal choice for Irish clothing, especially in the crafting of Aran sweaters and ponchos.
🇮🇪 The Legacy of Aran Sweaters
Originating from the Aran Islands off Ireland’s west coast, Aran sweaters are a symbol of Irish heritage. Each stitch pattern holds significance—cable stitches represent fishermen’s ropes and hopes for safety, while diamond stitches symbolize prosperity. Crafted from Merino wool, these sweaters offer both warmth and a connection to Irish culture.
