Aran Crafts

Irish knitwear from Monasterevin

Aran Crafts is a family-owned knitwear business based in Monasterevin, County Kildare. Its company history traces the family’s trade in Irish woollens to Kate O’Shea in 1856 and says Molly Cullen founded Aran Crafts in 1957. The present range combines traditional Aran patterns with garments designed for everyday wear. The business describes its sweaters and jackets as made with merino wool or pure new wool and sells them through its own online shop.

Sweaters for adults and children

The collection covers women’s and men’s Aran sweaters, cardigans and jackets, along with knitwear for children. There are also hats, scarves, shawls, ponchos, blankets and throws. Shoppers can browse by garment type and material; the site has separate collections for softer merino wool and Donegal wool styles. Because fit and wool composition vary by product, each item’s size guide and materials are more useful than a general description of the range.

Buying and customer support

Aran Crafts provides product care guidance, information about Aran stitches, delivery details and a returns policy on its website. The company lists a Monasterevin contact address, an Irish telephone number and a customer service email. Buyers ordering from abroad can select a displayed currency and review shipping and return conditions before paying. For a return, the contact page asks customers to retain their order confirmation as proof of purchase.
