Irish wool

Emerald Isle fleece

Wool produced in Ireland, known for its quality and traditional use in distinctive textiles like Aran sweaters and tweed.

Irish wool often comes from sheep raised in the country's damp climate, which produces a naturally lanolin-rich fiber with good water resistance.

The fisherman's sweater was knit from undyed Irish wool.
