The tale of the Aran jumper

[@seanmary25]

I bought my Irish sweater from her shop way back in 1987, it still looks and feels brand new. Unfortunately, I had to give it to my wife because it didn't expand the same way I did over the last 30 years. Looks beautiful on her though.

Beautiful story and beautiful sweaters!

[@IrishEire]

Such a lovely lady and a wonderful little shop! Inishmore is definitely worth visiting, so much to explore 😊

when we came back to Ireland, my husband and I contacted Frances and sent her our measurements for our own Aran sweaters. It is the best piece of clothing either of us own and consider ourselves so fortunate to have met her and have our sweaters hand knitted - not hand made. She is a great lady

Have been to your shop on a few occasions since I have been to Inis Mor 11 times since 2000. A beautiful little place and very friendly people. I am friends with Dara Molloy and his children. Blessings from Wisconsin USA.

What beautiful sweaters ❤ I've just knit one for my son and he loves it. I should love to visit your shop...perhaps one day 🤞🏻

My wife and I were there about 10 years ago and she bought a very nice sweater from this lady. She still wears it today

I love watching this. Live in Brisbane Australia and bought two Aran knits. Made sure they were authentic when I bought them we only have about three westerly windy days ie very cold so do not get to wear them very often. But I love them.

I met Frances back in , ohh 2004. I bought a sweater from her shop and I still have it to this day. I love this piece of clothing and it stands the testament of time. I think her son's name was Barkley as was her husbands....I forget . Going back there in 2025. I hope she is around. when I was there i met a dude from New Zealand there, his name was Glen. He worked at a Youth Hostel about a mile past Watty's. We had such a great visit that it redefined 'The Wild Atlantic Way'. We hopped in somebody's vehicle one night and ended up at Tigh Fitz. That was a good seisiun

Omg I want to live there!!! Somebody please come take me away from Where I live. The universe played a cruel, cruel trick on me. I was born and raised in Florida and I absolutely HATE THE SUN!!!!! HATE IT!!!! All I do is sit around and long for the cold and the rain every day. It’s 103 degrees right now and I can’t breathe!!! Oh Ireland. You fill up my dreams…😢😭

Do you sell Aran sweater patterns and the wool?

[@courtneyagustin6158]

How much do these cost for a medium female and large male?

[@discoverireland]

There are various different types of Aran jumpers available from different manufacturers and prices can vary, Courtney. You can learn more about the Aran jumper here: bit.ly/3bYk98A 🧶
