About Aran Woollen Mills Aran Woollen Mills was founded in Westport, Co Mayo, in 1965 by local couple Máire and Padraig Hughes, and has grown to become Ireland’s largest home-based Aran knitwear manufacturer. Máire and Padraig established the business to follow Máire’s passion for Irish craft and heritage and to provide employment locally in the West of Ireland, a legacy which continues today as Aran Woollen Mills continues to design and manufacture in Co Mayo. Today, the Hughes family continue to develop and grow the business internationally.

The company’s first major customers were craft shops on the West and South coasts of Ireland and in Dublin before developing the export side of the business, thus realising their dream of taking the brand ‘From Westport to the World.’ The team at Aran Woollen Mills takes enormous pride in the brand’s authentic Irish knitwear and accessories ranges that are manufactured in Ireland to the highest standard. Featuring the best natural materials in the hands of a skilled workforce, the resulting genuine, premium quality Irish products pass through rigorous quality control checks throughout the manufacturing process from design to production, before making their way to customers across the globe.

Today Aran Woollen Mills remains a family business with family values. Many employees have been with company for over 30 or 40 years, and have, alongside Hughes family members, worked tirelessly to start and build the business. Their legacy lives on in Aran Woollen Mills and the family, led by Máire and Padraig’s son and current owner, Vincent Hughes, are committed to the future success of the business, maintaining, and growing skilled jobs in the west of Ireland while keeping the heritage of Aran knitting well and truly at the forefront of Irish retail exports. In 2021 Aran Woollen Mills opened a new manufacturing facility in Belmullet Co. Mayo. This facility will be joined by a second by the end of 2022. Combined, these two facilities will see up to 50 new jobs created in the area by 2023 in addition to the 100 staff already employed by the company.

Natural Yarn Aran Woollen Mills manufactures high quality, premium, knitwear made from responsibly sourced natural fibres. These natural fibres provide many benefits: They are anti-microbial, odour repellent, and water and dirt resistant – the yarn wicks away moisture from the body. The yarn has superior insulating properties, making clothing warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Animal welfare is paramount to the business – it underpins everything they stand for. Aran Woollen Mills buy their wool from yarn suppliers who work closely with small, family sheep farmers. Every single animal is very important to the farmers’ livelihood meaning the sheep are particularly well cared for. These farms tend to be passed down the generations. The wool is cleaned, combed, dyed, and spun in the country of origin, usually as part of a community programme, the yarn suppliers being officially recognised, before it arrives on the cone here in Ireland, ready to be inspected before it is knitted.
