For the fashion and for the sheer heritage of them, nothing expresses a love of Ireland quite like hand knit Irish sweaters. The elegance and the stature of the classic white wool sweater immediately convey a warmth only the Irish seem to have in abundance.

But are you aware of the story of how the Irish hand knits came into being?

The reality is that while so many Irish men and boys headed out to the Irish coasts to find the jobs on fishing vessels, they had no way of knowing how dangerous those jobs really were. And the danger was constant.

In fact many Irish men were lost to the rough seas that literally surround the entire country for years. As the boats would leave the rocky Irish shores, the families never knew if they would ever see their loved ones again…and in many cases, they did not.

This is exactly why the Irish women began to knit each sweaters in a pattern that was identifiable only to them, so that if a body did wash up on shore, they would be able to recognize the pattern, and thus the man.

A terrible story, for sure. But isn’t that how so many wonderful good things begin?

And while that story did indeed have a horrible start, it has, for the past several hundred years, led to the creation of the most stunning Irish hand knits imaginable.
