Vintage hand knit Aran jumper

A beautifully tactile handknit Aran jumper with the kind of weight and presence you only get from older pieces. This 1980s fisherman knit is rich with traditional cable detailing, softly slouched and full of character.

Handmade and unisex, it features a classic crew neckline, long cuffed sleeves and a chunky cable pattern throughout in a timeless cream tone.

Styling notes

Wear it loose with denim or layered over a dress for contrast. A perfect cold weather knit that works just as well at home as out walking.
