 cardigan is a type of sweater/jumper with buttons down the
front; by contrast, a pullover does
not open in front, but forms a solid tube around the torso. It is usually machine- or hand-knitted from wool or cotton.
Today, Aran knitwear made on or off the Aran Islands either by machine or by hand are standard items in
Irish tourist shops. On Inishmaan, the least visited of the three islands and still the repository of the purest
Irish spoken in Ireland, the tradition continues in a very special and unique way.
Here, sweaters made in cashmere, alpaca, mohair, linen, and silk are dispatched every week on the little
nine-seater Aer Arann Islander commuter plane bound for Galway, and then Shannon airport and on to the fashion
capitals of the world. These are the desirable luxury knits, the "New Age" Arans from the Inis Meáin
Knitwear Company, that make it to the pages of Vogue, Stern, The Financial Times, and Frankfurter Allgemein and
which can be found in elegant boutiques in Paris, New York, London, Milan, and Tokyo.
