Size: 1 Product number: wn21-11fw112-kw Model name: Mongolian wool Aran vest Color: Charcoal Retail price: 29,700 yen 100% wool Knitted in the Aran Islands since the 6th century, the unique knitting patterns are imbued with the prayers of women who wished for the safety of their husbands who went fishing in small boats on the rough seas and for a bountiful catch. This is a Wellnote Aran knit vest with such a history. When making low-gauge Aran knits, it is common to use loosely twisted yarn called roping, but while it has a voluminous feel, it tends to fuzz and has the disadvantage of being itchy. To suppress the itchiness, we use a 12-count single yarn with slightly longer fibers. By doing this, we can put more twist than usual to create volume and express a more three-dimensional knit fabric. While keeping the basic patterns, we have made some arrangements to the silhouette. The sleeves are asymmetrical from the sleeve cap to make them look neat, and the basket weave on the back sleeve has been slightly removed. The Aran knit is composed of a basket weave in the center (representing the fishing basket and symbolizing the success of the fishing, that is, a large catch). Moss stitch (seed stitch) is placed on both sides (symbolizing the moss-covered earth). Small cable knits are made near the armholes. (Cable knits are literally ropes, so they also have the meaning of a lifeline for fishermen and binding the harvest.) I have other items for sale, so please take a look if you like.
