Irish Wool Cable Knit Cowl Neck Poncho for Women

Our Green Irish Wool Cable Knit Cowl Neck Poncho from Saol is one of those easy pieces you end up reaching for all the time once the weather turns cold. It has that relaxed, cozy feel, but still looks put-together without you really trying.

The cable knit detail across the front gives it that classic Aran look straight away. Its based on Aran knitting patterns, which became famous in Ireland in the late 19th century. Today, the traditional Aran fisherman sweaters are known worldwide for their intricate cables and heavy knits, originally designed to keep islanders warm while out on the high seas.

The shape is what makes it especially elegant. The cowl neck is soft and chunky, so it sits nicely and keeps you warm . The fit is loose and comfortable, but it still drapes in a flattering way, especially with the finer cable details running down the sides.
It’s made in Ireland by Saol using 100% Merino wool, so it has that natural warmth you expect from proper knitwear.

If you’re into this kind of look, it’s worth checking out our Women’s Irish Clothing collection too, there are plenty more Aran-inspired sweaters, ponchos, and cardigans that sit in the same easy, wearable style.
