Traditional fisherman sweaters told a unique story about each family and town they represented. This modern take on the classic Aran sweater brings old-time knitting traditions into the twenty first century. A suble hourglass shaped silhouette and a graceful, wide neckline make this cabled classic decidedly feminine. A reverse stockinette ground and extra long sleeves make it thoroughly modern.
