This name originates in England. However in Ireland the name White was used locally for many Irish people who had the elements ‘ban’ –white or ‘fionn’ – fair. The Whites settled in Ireland, in all provinces, throughout the centuries. Some recordings show as early as 1213. In Limerick in particular the name has long been associated with mayors and sheriffs.

The hand knit White sweater has a central panel of moss filled diamonds and trellis, flanked by chevrons and single rows of honeycomb. The trellis represents the stone walled fields of the Aran Islands. The honeycomb stitch symbolises work and the diamonds symbolises a wish for wealth. 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.
