"A Timeless World of Rock and Wave"⁠ ⁠ Tim Robinson, in his Introduction Essay to The Aran Islands by JM Synge.⁠ In the 1992 edition published by Penguin Classics, and referring to how Robert Flaherty presented the Aran Islands in his famous 1932 documentary Man of Aran.⁠ ⁠ Photographed by Per Nilsson.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain

Linen was widely used in the Aran Islands until the middle of the nineteenth century. Local fields and gardens still bear witness to this heritage with names such as Garraí an Lín (the flax garden) and Loch an Lín (the flax lake). Much of the production of linen, from growing to harvesting, spinning, weaving and dying was carried out by women on the island. ⁠ ⁠ Vivid blue flowers would gave way to a beautiful rust coloured bud on long bracken stems inspiring our new Women's linen pieces in rich Rust and mossy Sage. Cool breezy shapes in full and 3/4 sleeve, offer comfortable breathability for warmer weather. They join classic tunics and sweatshirts in fresh new colours in our Women's Spring / Summer 2025 Collection. All in 100% natural linen evoking Inis Meáin's textile heritage. Designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Island's workshop.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in Inis Meáin's Profile to Shop Featured Knits.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain #knitwear

The Boatbuilder Sweater is a signature Inis Meáin style in our Autumn / Winter Collections. So a Spring / Summer version of a Boat Builder Crew Neck seemed long overdue. We found just the right yarn for it this season with our new special blend of super-premium Cashmere, Silk, Linen and Cotton from Italian heritage producer, Filati Biagioli Modesto. The yarn combination lends a beautiful drape to this soft, luxurious sweater with an all-over cardigan stitch and raglan sleeve for optimum flexibility. ⁠ ⁠ Available in Navy Marl, an intense marine navy with hints of ink and whisps of white sea spray. Designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Island’s workshop.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in Inis Meáin's Profile to Shop Featured Knits.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain #knitwear

From a lifetime spent looking out to sea from the island of Inis Meáin, we know that where the sea stops and the sky starts is rarely the meeting of two solid colour blocks. There is always some distortion or overlap of sunlight spilling onto the sea or ocean haze rising into the sky. And so it is with the Ombré Tunic, a subtle colour block piece with beautifully blended lines. Knit in purl stitch, adding to the mélange effect, and featuring a neat rib on the neck, hem and sleeves. Designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Island's workshop.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in Inis Meáin's Profile to Shop Featured Knits.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain #knitwear

The Inis Meáin Farmer’s Jacket is a stalwart piece from our Workwear repertoire. Farmers on the Island traditionally wore jackets with plenty of useful pockets. Inspired by this heritage, we reimagined this traditional style in premium, washed linen. With four pockets and a round collar, this unique piece unites the comfort of a cardigan with the structure and style of a jacket. Designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Islands workshop.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in Inis Meáin's Profile to Shop Featured Knits.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain #knitwear

☘️ Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ó Inis Meáin ☘️⁠ ⁠ St. Patrick's Day is a unique occasion on Inis Meáin where local men vie for the title of World Cead Champions every year. Cead is our own local game that is played nowhere else in the world except Inis Meáin, and only on St. Patrick's Day, with any advance training thoroughly frowned upon!⁠ ⁠ In celebration of our Patron Saint and our island traditions we sent shamrocks crocheted in Inis Meáin around the world during a promotion last month and asked our clients to share with us in pictures some of the adventures of their Inis Meáin pieces and our roving shamrocks. Sending luck, warm wishes and a special thanks from the Aran Islands to those who shared photos, and to all our clients and friends of Inis Meáin around the world.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain #knitwear

Newly developed for Spring / Summer 2025 is the Linenstitch Tunic. Evolved from a stitch we developed a few years ago, the linen stitch gives a singular subtle texture to a piece, that offers stitch-interest while maintaining versatility for styling. Features a neat purl stitch trim on the neck, hem and sleeves. As with all knitwear that carries the Inis Meáin label — designed, made and hand-finished in our Aran Island’s workshop.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in Inis Meáin's Profile to Shop Featured Knits.⁠ ⁠ #inismeain #knitwear
