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😊.

FYI:  I received a Vermont Country Store catalog in the snail mail today.  They offer a few Aran craft sweaters.  One is offered in "Rust."  Online it is labed "Autumn Glaze."  Very rich, warm, autumn leaf color.
