Hot chocolate, a cozy fire, a great read, warm blankets, and cable knit are all distinct pleasures of the autumn season. If you've ever had a favorite cable knit or Irish Fisherman's sweater, you'll agree that a sweater inspired sofa or bed throw is a welcomed home accent that never goes out of style.The cable knit craze which began a few years back shows no sign of slowing down as
this fall, designers and retailers are still serving up sweater motifs on an array of home decor.
Cable knit Aran fisherman sweaters originated in the Aran Islands off the west of Ireland. We are captivated by their wonderfully classic look. The many different intricate patterns of these cable knit sweaters were linked to clans much like kilts and tartan plaids are. In fact the sweaters were often used in the identification process when bodies of fishermen washed up on the beach following an accident at sea.
Today cable knitted home decor items enhance all styles of interiors from traditional, to coastal, to contemporary. This accent has also inspired many homeowners to learn how to knit as well as recycle old sweaters into accessories.
