O' Crowley, O' Cruadhlaoich.
The sept of O’ Crowley began as an offshoot of the McDermott’s in County Roscommon. Branches settled in Dunmanway in County Cork – and are still much identified with that area. Another small branch of the Crowley family is also found in Connacht. The name is derived from the Words Cruadh – meaning hard, and Laoch – meaning hero.
The Crowley sweater has a honeycomb central panel flanked by moss filled diamonds and cables on either side. The honeycomb represents work, the cable is symbolic of a wish for good luck and the diamond represents a wish for wealth. This beautiful Aran sweater has been 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 crafted in the traditional Irish style, and with care, will last a lifetime.
