Inverallan Knit Aran Sweaters

inverallan-knitMuseum Ark has tracked down another great heritage brand for their shop. These hand knit Aran sweaters from Scotland look great. Inverallan claims to be second to none when it comes to quality and complex Aran patterns. The style of knit came from Scotland has been recorded as far back as the 9th Century and perfected by fisherman's wives over the years in the cold Northern UK. Inverallan seems to have a great idea of their color palettes and very tasteful use of the cable pattern and shawl collars. I think this navy blue cardigan is one of my favorites. The sweaters are pretty much  the best thing to have in cold weather. They are made to withstand the elements and test of time - and they look beautiful.

Glad you like the cardigan

This is style 6a in our style list. We have knit this garment for over 30 years and the cost is £118 plus postage.

As we have over 400 styles we can not have all of them on the web site

[...] Available from Museum Ark for 54,390 Yen (approx. $589).  Via h(y)r collective. [...]

I know this is really old but I would just like to say this does not come from Scotland. It's called an Aran sweater because the patterns where found on the walls in caves in the Aran Islands which are part of Ireland and the sweaters where first knitted in Ireland.
