Product details
100% Cashmere
At Inis Meáin, we have been designing and making high quality knitwear, in the Aran Islands, for almost 50 years. Traditionally a predominantly fishing and farming community, the Boatbuilder is our highly popular version of an Aran Fisherman Sweater. The distinctive raglan ribbed pattern was originally designed for flexibility in the shoulder area for carrying out the physical tasks of lobster fishing or currach-building. Practical and supremely comfortable, with a high roll neck for warmth.
Occasionally we knit our signature Boatbuilder Sweater in 100% super-premium Cashmere from Italian heritage producer Filati Biagioli, who supply the most exceptional Cashmere to the world’s most coveted brands. We have a very limited quantity of this luxury Aran Sweater available, in this supremely soft and cozy, yet very breathable yarn, thanks to the loft provided by the super-premium Cashmere. Click your size and if not currently in stock, please sign up to be notified of the next time we have the opportunity to knit these exceptional knitwear pieces. Designed to the same size spec as the Boatbuilder in our Cashmere/Merino blend, however the 100% Cashmere version has a little more drape, due to its softer hand-feel.
The Original and Luxury Fisherman Sweater from the Aran Islands – designed, made and hand-finished in our island workshop in Inis Meáin.
