Ordered the Aran crewneck sweater after researching Merino wool, its softness versus other wool fibers, the benefits of wool, and reading reviews of the Irish Store. I will say I was skeptical but hopeful, but ultimately disappointed. The sweater that arrived was everything I wanted except in the wool quality. To be fair, the label doesn't specify that it is supposed to be Merino wool but the online listing does seem to promise this. The sweater I have is itchy, with thick wool fibers that honestly don't feel or look like yarn (but do feel like wool, an old itchy wool). The sweater is beautiful, fits exactly as I wanted it to, but is near completely unwearable. Purchased it on considerable discount, and still feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I'm quite sad ... MoreOrdered the Aran crewneck sweater after researching Merino wool, its softness versus other wool fibers, the benefits of wool, and reading reviews of the Irish Store.

I'm quite sad because there is so much to love about the sweater, but I can't really enjoy it, since it's almost painful to wear. I bought a couple quality knit washes, so hopefully those will help.... Show more

100% Pure New Wool Aran Crew Neck Sweater Moss Green Colour
Held together with rows of single knit strands of thin wool which let the cold and wind through and look like they will break very easily. Tried to import 2 images of the sweater showing the flimsy rows but couldn't submit them because was loading all of my images, even though I selected only 2.... Show more

Crew Neck Blackwatch Unisex Sweater
Beautiful colours but I thought the design could be tighter as I could see through the lines of knitting. Not a heavy as the normal arán jumper. Hard to hand wash. Recommend maybe getting dry cleaning... Show more

Crew Neck Sweater Blackwatch
Blackwatch is a colour you probably won't see right on your computer or phone. There's very dark blue and very dark bluey green. But my wife says it suits me, and you can't say fairer than that. And it was very affordable. A lighter knit than some of the sweaters I have bought in SW Ireland, it will do very well for colder days in the Spring and Autumn,... Show more

Traditional Irish Aran Jumper
Lovely warm and stylish Irish jumper. Label states 100% wool and made in Ireland . I doubt the jumper was specifically made in the Isles of Aran off the mouth of Galway and wool (merino?) although knitted in Ireland likely be sourced abroad. Jumper is definitely warm with lively cable knit patterns. One thing to be careful of is rings, they can catch the wool when you put the jumper on so put your jumper on first. I got mine during the black Friday sale so for 25 I think a good price.... Show more
