The three stark and tussocky Aran Islands – Inis Meáin, Inis Mór and Inis Oírr – lurk in the mouth of Galway Bay Ireland. Remote from an already remote western coastline, the resourceful islanders have used their spare time over the centuries to elevate cable knitting to an art form with an intricacy unmatched anywhere else. Today the islands have their own indigenous label, Inis Meáin, which sells its luxurious wares for top dollar at far flung locations like Bergdorf Goodman in New York.
