While weathering a storm or sipping tea before the rest of the house wakes up, this throw will be your go-to comfort throughout the cooler months. Made in the tradition of Aran Island sweaters, the cloud-soft merino wool brings serious warmth.

Classic Aran patterns each have their own story to tell: cable stitches for safety and good luck, honeycomb for the rewards of hard work, trellis for protection, and plaited braid for the interweaving strands of life. It’s the next best thing to sharing a hug with a loved one who is far away, and it makes a perfect housewarming or winter wedding gift.
