Ah Ireland… the land of redheads, soap & sheep. The Arran wool sweater, commonly worn by fisherman of Ireland, & often found in beautifully woven patterns, is one of the most popular articles of traditional clothing sought after by tourists, right alongside the Muckross cap. So, why not go to the source? Here, the Arran Sweater Market, you’ll find all manner of styles, including various Irish family knits, gloves, hats & other garments — although sadly & curiously, no neckties. The store is quite large, spread out over a couple of floors, & offers a number of items on sale. Like the tree falling in the woods, if you return from Ireland without one of these sweaters, have you really been there?
