Founded by Molly Cullen and her family, this iconic brand, now part of West End Knitwear Limited, carries forward the tradition with a modern twist, making Aran Crafts the largest knitwear manufacturer in Ireland.

These pieces, originally made with undyed natural wool and rich in lanolin for water resistance, have evolved into global fashion icons, worn by many celebrities. Authentic Aran Crafts jumpers are recognized by their distinctive 4-6 textured stitch patterns running down in columns.

How to care for your garment
In order to get the best from your Aran Crafts jumper, wash it as little as possible but air often. This method is called ‘wind washing’. Hang your jumper out in the air and allow nature to add its odour. You will be amazed at how fresh it is. Never machines wash as this is too harsh for the wool. Wash by hand using wool washing detergent and in cool water below 30 degrees celsius. Never tumble dry your jumper, always dry your jumper flat to maintain its shape.
