I live in USA, but have been knitting the traditonal Aran sweaters for many years. I have visited Ireland several times and always come home with a bag of wool. For the past few years, it has been very hard to get, but I was fortunate to hear about the Kerry Woollen Mills just outside of Killarney. The wool is beautiful and the people there are very nice and accomodating. I have even phoned them and they have mail-ordered to me. I am looking for TRADITIONAL patterns with raglan sleeves —very hard to find. Please help me if you can. Thanks.

Hi Kathleen,
I saw your post and wondered if you had any luck finding the raglan patterns. I too have looked for them with very little success.
I have been to the Kerry Woolen Mills and I agree about the wonderful wool, My sister and I are headed back to Ireland in May and I was thrilled to find this website as the other times we have been there finding yarn shops has been difficult.
Any other thoughts would be apprciated!!
Thanks

I was looking for traditional aran patters and came across a website – vintageknittinglady.co.uk – it was brilliant, very efficient and the aptterns arrived very quickly. I have knit two of the patterns I’ve bought an am finding that the older patterns are quite small.

I have googled “raglan patterns” and clicked “images” in my search and from here I could hover over the picture that interested me and click the image to see if the pattern was available.
it works for me in my textile crafts.

Hi all
Love that this site is devoted to Irish knitting and crochet. I would like to let people know we have a craft circle that meets every Friday morning in our local bookshop. We are based in Bookworm, Liberty Square, Thurles, Co Tipperary. We meet every Friday morning from 10.30am to 12.00 noon.
John Butler is the owner and is delighted to accommodate us. He has tea and coffee and some confectionery available for us to buy if we so wish. If you would like to come along any Friday we would be delighted to meet you. Knitting and crochet mostly but we welcome all crafters to join us. Look forward to seeing some new people next week.
