With the Winter chill really starting to set in now, it's time to batten down the hatches, flick on the kettle and curl up on the sofa for Christmas.To celebrate our favourite season, we've hand picked our top ten toastiest products, guaranteed to keep you warm this festive season. 

No. 1 - The Handknit Chevron Stitch Sweater 

First on our list is the  Handknit Chevron Stitch Sweater which has to be one of the warmest sweaters on the market. Handknits, which are naturally warmer than their loomed counterparts, can often make you feel as though you are wearing two sweaters at once but still with a comfortable and easy to breath feel. Layer up underneath to wear this Sweater outside instead of a coat.  

              No. 2 - Chunky Aran Hat 

And when it comes to wrapping up warm for outside, we also recommend our  Aran Booble Hat. Don't be deceived by its size as not only has this little hat proven itself the most fashionable winter accessory as of late but it is also one of the warmest around. This chunky wool knit is also fleece lined with super soft fleece for even extra warmth and softness. 

     No. 3 - A Sheepskin Rugs 

A Sheepskin Rug is a true classic for the home this Wintertime and although you can't exactly wrap it around yourself, it is great nestled into the back of an arm or rocking chair as well as at the end of a bed or couch. Just imagine toasting your toes on this natural and fluffy beauty in front of a crackling fire on a cold stormy night.... ok we better stop with this day dream if we actually want to have any chance of finishing this article! 

                 No. 4 - Ribbed Turtleneck Wool Sweater 

Our Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater is one of our hardiest sweaters and is unbeatable for warmth. Its structured style and ribbed stitch combined are testament to the catch phrase; the old ways are the best ways with the rebirth of this classic Fisherman's Sweater. Made of 100% pure new wool, this submariner style means you can be both practical and fashionable this season. 

             No.5 - Merino Wool Booties 

Our Merino Booties, made of natural wool pile, are truly the ultimate in loungewear this season. Snugly, soft and warm, these booties are our favourites for cuddling up on the couch and really who needs shoes anyway? 

         No. 6 - Large Collar Aran Coat 

Bringing it back to the great outdoors again is our Large Collar Aran Coat. This Coat is our most popular selling style at this time of the year and its easy to understand why with its long length for extra warmth and oversized collar to protect against the wind. This coat is guaranteed warmth and style, all wrapped up in one.

We also recommend in a size up for extra coziness.
