O'Casey
This intricately cabled traditional sweater is supposed to 
be the clan aran of the Casey family - and though such 
stuff is really more myth than truth, it is a fun myth to 
perpetuate.
This handsome design won a blue ribbon at the 2012 New York State Fair. It is wrought in an aran weight 
pure wool available in beautiful heathered shades, with a 
crew neck and comfortable raglan sleeves to minimise 
the bulk.
Rope, honeycomb and diamond cables adorn almost 
every square inch, making this heirloom garment as 
beautiful as it is warm and functional. And you don’t 
even have to be a Casey to wear it!
