Inis Meáin is the only knitwear factory on any of the three Aran Islands that's been designing and making high-quality knitwear for the last 50 years. Aran knitting became famous in the late 19th century, when highly decorated sweaters were knit in island homes to sell abroad. However, these were modelled on the "Sunday Best" sweaters of the islanders; their day-to-day wear was much more pared back. Streamlined workwear with innovative touches, knit to keep those working outdoors in the harsh Atlantic weather warm. These sweaters are models in restraint, in tune with the rich textile traditions embedded in island life and the Aran community that inspires the designs.
- Mockneck
- Cable Stitch
- Style A2605
Inis Meáin is one of the three Aran Islands that lie thirty miles off the western shore of Ireland. It’s a place of wild and rugged beauty where fishermen’s garments have been designed, knitted and woven by their families for centuries. Inspired by this unique spirit, Tarlach de Blácam and Áine Ní Chonghaile founded the Inis Meáin Knitting Company in 1976.
