Aran Cable Knit Side Zip Silver Grey
Shipping calculated at checkout
This sweater features the traditional Aran cable and trellis stitching patterns. The cables represent the baskets of the Aran island fishermen's success. On the other hand, the trellis is a rich-looking pattern that adds texture to the fabric.
The sweater has a full-side zipper that enhances its modernity. The zip location is great for quickly layering up or down when the weather changes. The zipper has an iconic Claddagh ring finishing, featuring two hands clasping a heart as a symbol of love.
If you have any dermatological issues, this sweater should be your pick as the fibers stabilize your skin's humidity and micro-climate.
The molecular structure of the fibers gives this sweater incredible comfort. You can freely move your body because it stretches up to 30% of its length.
The sweater has both warm and cool properties. The crimps in the fibers create air pockets that trap heat, keeping you warm throughout. When it is warm, the fibers regulate your body temperature sufficiently. Other special features include:
- Merino wool is super soft, which means you don't need softeners or conditioners when washing
- The sweater also has two insert pockets that you can use to protect your hands from the cold
- 100% merino wool making it not crease much, yet giving it its unique ideal lightweight
- Authentically Irish giving the wearer a gratifying traditional Irish look
- Antimicrobial properties and isn't prone to unpleasant smells
Care Guide
While our sweaters are a great choice, because they are warm and durable, proper care should be always taken to protect your garment. We recommend all of our sweaters and wool garments are gently hand washed with a mild wool detergent, reshaped by hand and dried flat. If soaked for too long, the wool may shrink and become hard.
Alternatively, most of our sweaters can also be dry cleaned but always check the care label first. Under no circumstances should you machine wash or tumble dry your sweater or any other wool product. Remember, when you give your sweater great care, it will last you for a long time.

A Little Bit About Us
The Sweater Shop is a family-run business that was established in 1986 by Dom Byrne and his sister Breege. Now in its second generation, the company is run by Dom’s son Paul and daughter Laura, alongside their sister-in-laws Kate and Eileen Louise, and cousin Alva, who manages the Galway locations.
The Sweater Shop remains a true family affair, built on a strong sense of heritage and deep-rooted family values. When asked by a journalist from The Irish Times in 1986 what made his shop so special, Dom proudly said: "quality, value and selection" – and that still holds true today. The large selection of superb quality Irish Aran knitwear at reasonable prices quickly became a favourite among both locals and visitors. As a result, the business expanded to include outlets around the country including Dublin, Kilkenny, and Galway City. The flagship store on Nassau Street in Dublin, located directly across from Trinity College, continues to be a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the heart of the city.
From timeless classics to modern twists on traditional patterns, there’s something for everyone in our collection — come and discover your next favourite piece instore or online.
