Irish Handmade Sweaters: A Story Of True Warmth



By Kevin Wilkes


In all the world, one of the best places to find the most memorable handmade sweaters has to be the ones that come from Ireland.

These gorgeous all wool sweaters are not just delightfully classic in styling, the come with an amazing story. What else would you expect from the Irish?

Put simply, when the Irish men and boys headed out to find jobs in fishing, they had no way of knowing how dangerous those jobs would be. And they had no way of knowing how many of them would lose their lives to the rough Irish seas.

That is when the Irish women came up with patterns for each sweater that would identify each family.

While a terrible story, it did give way (over centuries) to a beautiful Irish export.

Irish handmade sweaters are still knit by hand by a woman in Ireland. Two needles and wool. And a big pot of tea.

But it is when you put on one of these wonderful sweaters that you become overcome by the heritage and the warmth of Ireland. You can literally feel the wool, and you can press your hands into the patterns on the front of the sweaters themselves.

And now there is a way for you to get one of these gorgeous Irish Fisherman sweaters for less from a family that has been bringing them to the United States for almost 4 decades.

Imagine owning one of these sweaters and getting it from a woman who has imported tens of thousands of them...someone who knows all of the best knitters in Ireland and someone who has fit thousands of people in these sweaters. That's a comfort that is hard to duplicate.

You can now get one of these beautiful handmade sweaters from Ireland for less. And you can get it with the assurance that you are getting a sweater that will easily last you 15-20 solid years if taken care of properly.
