Made in Ireland
The Raidhse Cashmere Aran Sweater is a stunning turtleneck that puts a luxurious spin on the traditional Aran Sweater. Handmade in Ireland with the finest quality 100% 8 ply cashmere yarn, this jumper is so sumptuous and cosy.
Raidshe is the Irish word for 'abundance', 'lavishness' or 'riches' and every detail of the Raidhse Sweater tells its story. The central panel and sleeves features wide blocks of blackberry stitches: the fruit of the brambles that grow thickly in the hedgerows of the Aran Islands and representative of nature's riches. Bordered with plaits stitches recalling similar designs that appear on stone high crosses, a remnant of Ireland’s Celtic past and then the diamond stitch, which represents aspirations of future wealth. The collar, cuffs and hems of the sweater are decorated with fine cable knit motifs, a symbol of the ropes used by the islands’ fishermen in their daily work. Although you can interpret it in your own way, to us, this sweater's stitches weave a story of the opportunity for abundance in your life through hard work.
