This breathable cotton cable knit sweater marries traditional craftsmanship with contemporary fashion. While the art of knitting sweaters traces its roots back to Ancient Egypt, the history of the cable knit sweater is a more recent tale, originating less than 150 years ago in the Aran Islands' fishing communities, off Ireland's rugged west coast. Our cable-knit sweater pays homage to these origins, where seafaring women first crafted them to keep fishermen warm at sea. More than just a piece of clothing, these sweaters were a labor of love and necessity, with all-over patterns designed to provide extra warmth and a touch of familial identity, as each family developed its unique pattern.
