Aran cable knitting originated off the west coast of Ireland within the boundaries of its namesake home, the Aran Islands – a neat group of Gaeltacht isles nestled in the cold, restless waters of the Atlantic; their history long, rich and holding tight to an Irish-speaking status to this day. It is here that the ‘Aran Jumper’ hails from, this notable knitwear incorporating the very techniques created in inspiration from the surrounding environment.

The Traditional Irish Aran Cable Knit Helix Moss Hat incorporates traditional aran stitches with a ribbed finish. The yarn, Irish Heather from Studio Donegal - Irish Wool - is recommended as wool holds the cables’ form the strongest.

Alternatives to wool could be any other protein fibre (alpaca, cashmere, etc.).
