From the 2026 Collection: This cardigan is made of 95% Lambswool and 5% Cashmere.

Cashmere is the wool of the Cashmere goat originating in the Himalayan mountains, Kashmir, India. The fleece is combed rather than sheared, making this one of the most luxurious natural fibres.
Cashmere has a high natural crimp, which results in an incredibly silky and lightweight yarn. Cashmere is difficult to obtain as the breed of goat produces only a small amount of wool in a year. Is it any wonder that the finished yarn is
regarded as luxury wool?

Our Lahinch collection is knitted with a combined 95% Lambswool and 5% Cashmere yarn. McConnell can create luxurious pieces that don’t break the bank. Lahinch is reputed as a surf and holiday mecca with 2 kms of sandy
beach in the shape of a crescent moon. Much like Lahinch’s Surfers and Sea swimmers, our collection is relaxed and fun. Ultimately the “Lahinch” collection will keep the wearer warm after a dip in the ocean or stroll on the coldest days.

McConnell is an Irish knitwear brand located on the Wild Atlantic Way, on the west coast of Ireland. With a strong focus on heritage and craftsmanship, the collection draws inspiration from time- honoured work-wear pieces of the fishermen in the form of Arans and ribbed sweaters
