"Beautiful!"

I had read the other reviews and thats when I made up my mind just do it!! The sweater came yesterday and it is just beautiful. I was worried that it could be itchy on me, but it isnt. I ordered a L instead of a M because I wanted extra room incase I wore a heavier shirt. It is just a bit larger then I wanted, but hey I have it!! Just beautiful!

"Beautiful"

This sweater looks just like the picture. It is lovely, well-made, and warm. It runs true to size, and the sleeves are plenty long. I am glad that I made this purchase.

"Warm and cozy"

Gorgeous sweater Great length which could almost work as a coat. I love the fact that an explanation of each of the stitches was sent with it. Lovely colour. Beautifully made.

"Looks like it rolled around in a tub of lint."

The workmanship is superb. The fit is perfect. The weight and drape is also perfect. So I am incredibly disappointed by the yarn quality. Its covered in white spots. Looks like an old sweater that has pilled with white, fluffy blobs all over it. It is also incredibly itchy and rough. Ive had wool sweaters before that didnt itch like this. The description says worsted wool but the tag says new wool. Im so disappointed I could just scream.

"Wonderful sweater!"

I looked at this sweater several times before purchasing. I was trying to justify spending that much money on myself. When I opened the box I knew my answer. Its beautiful & I will get years of use from it. Looking at it that way it was a bargain! Length is perfect, the knitting pattern is lovely & the color (I got the green) is rich & compliments anything I wear with it. Thank you for this item, I will get another!

"A Treasure from the Aran Islands"

Bought this for a gift for my mother-in-law that has strong Irish heritage pride. When she opened it her face absolutely lit up--she had visited the Aran Islands many years ago, and this beautiful sweater instantly transported her back to that moment in time. Shes about 58 - so I ordered a Large so the sleeves would be long enough - fits perfectly and the color is such a true, Irish green.

"Beautiful"

This is a beautifully made traditional Irish sweater jacket. There are so many different stitches in this sweater (a feature of Aran knitting) and the item came with a card identifying the various stitches for those of us who do not knit much. The yarns are marled, which gives a rich texture to the sweater. It is warm and cozy and will get a lot of use.

"Beautifully designed!"

I bought this sweater as a gift for my daughter. The color is perfect, not too bright, but definitely gets you noticed. She plans to wear it through the fall and winter holidays.

"Oh Wow"

What a beautiful sweater jacket! Its warm and cozy, and even though Ive only just received it, I can tell its going to be my first choice for brisk days this Fall. Buying it is one of the best decisions Ive ever made. The deep green is just the shade I wanted.

"Great Sweater!"

I got this in charcoal and I love it. It is very warm and light as air. The knitting is beautiful. I noticed some reviewers remarked about an odor. I did not notice any odor until I got my nose against the fabric. There is a faint smell of lanolin. That is absolutely normal for newly made wool items. The reason you dont get that on new worsted or other wool garments is that those fabrics are heavily processed. The lanolin smell will dissipate over time, airings and cleanings. Also, comments about it looking linty are maybe coming from those who dont know what marled means. Its not a flaw. Its a preference. When they say contrasting yarns, they mean it. You can see from the fotos that the red and green are very marled. The natural and charcoal colors are not as marled.
