Women’s Super Soft Merino Wool Half Zip Aran Sweater

Women's Super Soft Merino Wool Half Zip Aran Sweater

This women's Super Soft Merino wool half zip Aran sweater is made in Ireland from 100% Super Soft Merino wool and combines traditional Aran stitchwork with an easy-to-wear contemporary half zip design.

The X5374, also known as the Headford, features honeycomb, diamond and cable patterns throughout the garment, complemented by ribbed detailing at the collar.

Its combination of traditional texture and modern styling makes it a versatile piece of Irish knitwear. The half zip can be worn open for a more relaxed appearance or closed higher around the neck when additional warmth is wanted.

Traditional Honeycomb, Diamond and Cable Stitches

The X5374 combines several of the best-known patterns associated with traditional Aran knitting.

Honeycomb, diamond and cable stitches are worked through the sweater to create a richly textured surface, while the ribbed collar gives the neckline a cleaner finish.

These contrasting stitch structures add depth and definition to the garment without compromising its simple, wearable shape.

The result is a sweater that retains the visual character of traditional Aran knitwear while working comfortably as an everyday contemporary garment.

100% Super Soft Merino Wool

The sweater is crafted from 100% Super Soft Merino wool.

The softer yarn gives the garment a particularly comfortable feel while retaining the warmth and textural definition needed to show the Aran stitch patterns clearly.

This makes the Headford a good choice for customers who appreciate the appearance and heritage of traditional Aran knitwear but prefer a softer-feeling knitted garment for regular wear.

Versatile Half Zip Neckline

The half zip neckline gives the X5374 greater flexibility than a fixed crew neck sweater.

Worn partly open, it creates a relaxed neckline that works well over a shirt, blouse or base layer. When zipped higher, the collar provides additional coverage around the neck, making the sweater useful through cooler autumn, winter and spring weather.

The ribbed collar also adds a subtle contrast to the more intricate stitchwork across the body of the sweater.

Contemporary Irish Aran Knitwear

The X5374 is an Aran Crafts design manufactured in Ireland by West End Knitwear.

Its combination of traditional stitch patterns, Super Soft Merino wool and a practical half zip neckline gives the sweater a balance of Irish knitwear heritage and contemporary styling.
