The eponymous Aran sweaters worn by the fisherman who worked and lived on the islands have inspired knitters since the late 1800s and were made with 100% wool. The sweaters were highly durable, hydrophobic—a necessity at sea!—warm, and, perhaps most notably, usually knit with high-relief textures and cable motifs. Incorporating textural stitch work like ribbing, plaits, bobbles, cables and Celtic Knots created a doubly warm fabric well suited to life at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor color uniformity, purchase enough yarn at one time to complete your project.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1371\/5319\/files\/symbol_4_worsted_weight_thumb.gif?v=1478990431\" alt=\"\"\u003e Aran\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFIBER CONTENT: 100% Columbian and Rambouillet Wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWEIGHT: 100g \/ 162yds \/ 148m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEEDLE SIZE: 9 US \/ 5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGAUGE: 4 sts per inch \/ 2cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare instructions:  Hand wash in cool water using wool soap and 1\/8 cup white vinegar.  Rinse thoroughly, adding 1\/8 cup white vinegar to the last clear rinse.  Roll gently in a towel to remove excess water (do not twist or ring), and lay flat to dry.  Press with cool iron if needed.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages by Yarn Loop\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brown Sheep Co","offers":[{"title":"Celtic Sea HA40R","offer_id":41900152258627,"sku":"BS-HA44R","price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Salmon HA88R","offer_id":43445863022659,"sku":null,"price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1371\/5319\/files\/celtic-sea-ha40.jpg?v=1783809677","url":"https:\/\/www.yarnloop.com\/products\/brown-sheep-co-harborside-aran-new-colors","provider":"Yarn Loop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
