John Molloy Knitwear is a family owned business in Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland.

John Molloy met with me to help select the fine Irish Aran sweaters sold at A-Wee-Bit-Of-Ireland.com.

The day I visited Ardara, John Molloy was working the front of the store and his brother, Ronald was working in the knitting shop. The other brother, Mickael was at a trade show in New Jersey

To make these fine sweaters the yarn is worked on the loom. 

The front and back are pieced together.

The next step is to sew the front and backs together and to add the arms and collar. Each sweater is measured at least three times to make sure they are the correct size. The final step of the process is to steam the wrinkles out of the sweater and then send it to A-Wee-Bit-Of-Ireland.com
