Irish Hand Knits from the Aran Islands from Jittery Moose's Ireland Shop

An Pucan is a small, family run business started in 1977. For over 30 years, they have produced some of the finest Aran Islands Sweaters and hand knits in the world. Frances and her family are just wonderful, and if you ever have the chance to travel to the Inis Mor, you'll find them at their shops in Kilronan and at the foot of the path leading to the Dun Aengus hill fort on the far side of the island.

While Jittery Moose isn't stocking Aran Islands sweaters yet, take a look at the hand knits offered here (without having to covert to Euros and worrying about shipping from Ireland). If you are interested in An Pucan's sweaters, just click their shop picture above to go to their website. And if you are planning a trip to the Emerald Isle, make sure to take the time to travel to the Arans, meet Frances and see her wonderful shop, and don't forget to stop off at Nan Phaddy's after your walk to Dun Aengus for some of the most marvelous homemade soup on the planet!

An Pucan Hand Crocheted Hat With Rosette

Remiscent of the 1920's Flapper Style, this hat has a 100% approval rating at the Jittery Moose shop in Rawlins. 100% of women who try this hat on purchase it. As I'm having quite a time keeping them in stock, that's really saying something! Cozy colors, 100% wool, but not bulky or too heavy. This is a wonderful almost-Springtime hat, too! Choose from the colors below. Stock will rotate as new hats arrive!

An Pucan Hand Knitted Ear Wrap

You'll love this 100% wool ear wrap -- I know I do. There are little details in this ear wrap that make it cozier and superior to others. A nice width to keep the wind out of your ears, and perfect for those windy days when a hat just isn't what you want. The bead-knit joining made with decreasing stitches ensures that it fits nicely under your hair in the back (and won't tangle your hair, either!). Oh, and itchy? Not at all! Choose from the colors below, and colors will rotate as new stock arrives!

An Pucan 100% Wool Knitted Throw

Gorgeous. Available only in heathered green 100% wool. It's like an Aran Islands sweater you can drape over yourself when you curl up with a cup of tea and a favorite book! Measures approx. 48" x 42", so there's lots of snuggle room! Cable knits with all the Aran Islands patterns you love --including the ultra-warm honeycomb. Only a few of these are available at the great dollar-euro exchange, so price may fluctuate with newer stock.
