Inis Meáin's signature Patented Aran pattern has the distinction of being held in the collection of the National Museum of Ireland. Unique to Inis Meáin, the intricate composition of this fine cable knit pattern is reminiscent of the strong twists of the Island fishing ropes.

It’s a place of wild and rugged beauty where fishermen’s garments have been designed, knitted and woven by their families for centuries.
