Usually, Aran sweater yarn uses rough-textured wool, which can feel prickly on the skin, but this model feels like cashmere while retaining the rough texture of hand-knitting. Do you know the "Aran sweater"? It's a cream-colored sweater with cable-knit patterns that appear on the body and sleeves. It's a sweater that many people remember, such as when Steve McQueen wore it while driving a sand buggy in "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968) and Ryan O'Neal wore it at the ice rink in Central Park in winter in "Love Story" (1970). In Japan, it was called the "fisherman sweater" in the 60s and 70s and was a popular item essential for Ivy & Trad style. Aran sweaters were born in the Aran Islands of Ireland. Ireland is a country located west of the island of Great Britain, and the three inhabited islands off the coast of Galway Bay, Ireland, are collectively called the Aran Islands. The Aran sweater, a masterpiece of knitwear, was born in a place that can be called the "western end" from Japan. There are various theories, but it is said to have been born based on the "Guernsey sweater" brought in by a Scottish family who frequented a fishing base built on the Aran Islands. The Guernsey sweater they brought was a sweater born on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel, a thick knitwear with a navy blue color with cable-knit patterns on the shoulders and chest, which fishermen began to wear as a uniform around the 18th and 19th centuries. It was passed on to the Aran Islands, and the women of the islands, who were originally skilled with their hands and good at knitting, began to knit this Aran sweater as knitwear for themselves.
