Long Clan Sweater
$199.00
The two native Gaelic surnames O’ Longáin and O Longaigh have both been anglicised to Long. It is likely that both names derive from the Gaelic word ‘long’ meaning ship, therefore seafarer. The name Long is most commonly associated nowadays with County Cork. The hand knit Long sweater has a central moss filled diamond panel. This is flanked on both sides by cable and link stitches. The diamond stitch represents a wish for wealth and the cable represents good luck. The link stitch symbolises the unbroken chain between the Irish who emigrate and those who remain at home.
This beautiful hand knitted Aran sweater has been hand knitted in the traditional báinin (pronounced ‘baw neen’) colour, the natural white of the wool. It comes to you complete with a Clan history and crest. It is made of 100% pure new wool, is water repellent and breathable. It has been hand crafted in the traditional Irish style, and with care, will last a lifetime.
