From Sears Fisherman Knits booklet back cover:
“These distinctive yarns come from Ireland’s Aran Islands and Galway Bay area, and legend has it that each pattern has special significance to the family of the fisherman who created it. We’re certainly grateful to these unknown artists for the grace and beauty of their intricate stitches.”
“Another contribution from the Irish is the unscoured, undyed wool used in the original fisherman knits. Lanolin rich oils made their sweaters water repellent and also softened the user’s hands while working with the yarn. Sears has created this yarn, our exclusive #5607 Fisherman Yarn, which is authentic in all respects including the lofty yet rugged 3 ply construction.”
