Disana Aran Sweater

Disana Organic Wool Aran Sweater              

This beautiful knitting pattern originated on the Irish Aran Islands. Irish fishermen's wives made warm jumpers with this pattern for their husbands. 

Disana's Aran sweater provides extra warmth, because it's knitted with an extra portion of fine fine merino wool. This knitting style encloses small air "cushions" that are extra insulating. This definitely makes this an all-weather sweater for colder days.

Why wool?

• Wool keeps your child warm, because its naturally crinkled fibers hold the body heat. This way, wool balances temperature in cooler surroundings.
• Pure Merino wool can absorb up to a third of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp. Thanks to its lanolin content, the fiber also offers protection from external wetness, with pearls of water forming on its surface.
• Finely crimped wool does not itch and feels soft and comfortable on sensitive skin.

Made in Germany!

Care of Wool

1. Gently hand wash wool items using very cold water. Be gentle, as the agitation can cause wool to shrink.

2. Apply a very mild detergent such as DISANA wool shampoo.

3. Rinse the item in cold water until all soap residue has been removed.

4. Press the water out of the fabric by rolling it in a towel. Do not twist or wring, as this will shrink the fabric.

5. Hang the wet garment and allow it to air dry completely. Do NOT hang wool garments in the sun to dry.

6. Iron only when absolutely necessary. Use a cool iron with a press cloth between the iron and the fabric.

Additional Tips

- Dry cleaning is not recommended, as it could shrink your wool garment.

- Since wool is a natural fiber, do not use bleach as it will damage the fibers.
