Any takers on the Aran Craft sweaters/cardigans today? I have my eye on two of them but difficult to decide which one.

I bought two during St. Patty's day sales...ready to go for fall. So I'm not buying today. But I do love AC sweaters, they are worth the price...beautifully crafted, timeless styles.

I had a hard time picking last Spring also, did a lot of holding things in my cart until I decided on colors, styles, sizing...but am very happy with what I got.

I will say...one of the sweaters I bought was $20.00 less last Spring. I'll post my item numbers in case you are interested...both are very nice...one is heavier than the other.

A275981 This one I got in the light gray. I believe this price is similar to what I paid.

A375469 This I got in the light green, beautiful. Last Spring it was 110.00 when I bought it, $134.00 today, but a lovely sweater.

I'm 5' 1.5", size 4, XXS in both. For some reason I take XXS in AC, I'm usually an XS.

In case those interest you, there's my feedback.

Hope you find one you like~I have two older ones I've had for years also...love them.

I already have 18 Irish sweaters and am having a hard time not purchasing at this time. I wear them constantly during the cold weather and into the Spring. I really enjoy the Irish shows even if I don't buy anything, which is not happening. I bought a couple pieces of jewelry.

I have A275981 and I love it! I have my eye on the Kilronan sweater vest today. Trying to decide on the teal or the black.

I Love Aran Craft sweaters! I am a longtime knitter, and I can tell you that to buy the merino wool to knit this complicated pattern, I would need to spend at least $400. These are beautifully made! So happy to buy another.

I too have more than a few of the merino wool sweaters. I do love them and think they are top quality sweaters. I'm to the point I look for new colors to purchase. Today I ordered a cardigan in the "sienna" color. That looks very rich, very fall like. Do any of you have an item in that color? Comments?

I just bought A393418 in charcoal. I actually purchased that on St. Patrick's Day this year (it was the TSV) and wanted to do exchange the magenta color for the charcoal. They just refunded my money instead of doing the exchange so I never got the sweater. I am looking forward to getting it now as I really liked the style and fit. I do have one other Aran sweater and have found that they run quite large.

I hope you find something you love! The sweaters are great quality😊.

That is a beautiful color in the sweater yoiu are getting; nice fall/winter color. I am seriously thinking of getting A393427 in the beige color. Love the scalloped hem, sleeves and neckline plus it is a longer length. I will give the Vermont store a look too, thanks for mentioning!

@crawford5153 A305727 is a lovely Aran Craft sweater. I have it in the green. I own many, and I do mean many, of this brand which I first bought here several years ago. They are a quality product and each one has been more than satisfactory.

They really keep one warm. I hate the cold and this is the only outer garment I can wear that helps me avoid putting on an actual winter wool coat a little while longer unless I have to dress more formally.

I was tempted today, but ordered two Irish jewelry items instead.

Best,

I purchased St Patrick's Day TSV, A305727 the Aran Craft Asymetric Front Zip Sweater in charcoal and purchased the same sweater in the Green last night.

The quality is great and can't wait to wear both this Fall through Spring!

I purchased the Big Deal sweater today in the Burgundy color, and St Patricks day I purchased the Army Green TSV. About four years ago I purchased a grey TSV and I love them all. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more. I was wondering if everyone that ordered today is in "Advance Order" mode as I am. I don't recall that being mentioned. I want the sweater regardless, but just curious.

@IdahoGram

The asymetric zip shows arriving by 9/16 so that appears to be shipping soon. Not the same sweater that you ordered but maybe that's a hopeful sign.

What did you think of the Army Green asymetric zip color? That's the one I ordered today, wondering if you think it looks close to what they showed on TV.

Sadly, those sweaters are some of the only wool items on QVC. It used to be tat they sold wool coats and other brands of wool sweaters, etc., but no more. Just as pure cotton is getting scarce so are other natural fibers. Suede coats and jackets are also gone.

I had a couple items in my cart but ended up deleting them. I have enough Irish sweaters for now. Maybe on St. Paddy's Day, I'll change my mind.
