#ARAN HEDGE SCHOOL #MADE TO LAST
#ARAN HEDGE SCHOOL #MADE TO LAST
Each wrap consists of 60,000 stitches all hand crafted and finished here at our Donegal home studio. A very multi functional piece with fabulous drape.
The yarn is a soft tweed pure merino wool 100%, renoun for its thermal warmth and easy care.
Each piece is cast on and cast off by hand with a double thickness of yarn, and after the knitting is given a light washing and steam finish to settle the softness and drape.
Hand-loomed means a hand-operated knitting machine is used, no electricity needed! Each stitch is cast on individually, each line or row is made by moving a knitting ‘carriage’ across a bed of needles. The eyes and hands work together skillfully, with not a power cable in sight! In fact power loom companies are not crazy about making big scarves as the length takes up a lot of factor hours.

How to care for me
Maybe you’ve never owned one of me before?
Here’s my experience so far;
I’d prefer not to be stuck in that dark press but when I must go in there just roll me up loosely first.
I don’t need much washing although my Italian cousins say that I’m a gorgeous natural thing and washing improves me!
When washing make it no higher than 30 degrees and please only a wool recommended detergent. Squeeze all the water out after handwashing me, even roll me up in a towel to do this! Dry me flat on my back.
Keep direct sunlight away from my cables!
Edel and many of her long-term clients machine wash my friends. Hopefully they never put them in the drum at higher than 30 degrees or with nasty biological stuff!!!! The horror.
I’m terrified of the tumble dryer, please never do that to me.
Through Summer if you don’t need me (I hope you will), store me in an airtight zip bag please and I’ll get a rest with no disruption. I hope to spend a lifetime with you, but if you want to give me to a friend or send me to a charity store for a break that’s OK.
My wool is so healthy to wear and antibacterial, plus you’ll be living off the compliments.
