INSIDE GRACE'S WARDROBE 🪡 THE ARAN SWEATER (1962)

Princess Grace of Monaco, known for her timeless elegance, was often seen in iconic, understated pieces that highlighted both her beauty and her connection to various cultures. One such piece was the classic white Aran sweater, a quintessentially Irish garment that she wore on several occasions. After her official visit to Ireland with Prince Rainier in June 1961, the Princess was photographed wearing it while holidaying in Switzerland in February 1962 and, again later that year, by Howell Conant, during a leisure sailing day in Monaco by Howell Conant in this signature sweater, first during a leisurely day sailing in Monaco. The Aran sweater, known for its intricate cable-knit patterns, symbolised both grace and tradition, making it the perfect complement to the Princess's sophisticated yet approachable style. A symbol of her connection to Ireland and her love for the timelessly chic, the sweater remains a lasting part of her legacy.

I am in Ireland - need yarn!

Help! I am in Ireland for two more days traveling from Cork to Dublin and then hanging out in Dublin.

I expected to have no problem finding yarn but honestly haven't come across any or shops for yarn. I tried doing a google map search but that also hasn't helped.

Can anyone on here point me in the right direction? What do I search or is there a chain/shop you can recommend?
