A fabric designed by Gerd Hay-Edie for Irish fashion designer Sybil Connolly's 1956 Spring collection, Mourne's Mended Tweed was a real talking point amongst the fashion elite.
"Here comes the girl in a suit in a completely new tweed. The threads are enormous, the weave as clumsy as bad darning, but the fabric that looks so primitive is cunningly subtle and soft."
- Journalist Anne Scott-James (Lady Lancaster)
An unusual weave, the cloth acquires it's tactile, organic quality from 'wild' traditionally spun Pure Merino Donegal yarn.

Visit product page →A new blanket design in the Mourne Textiles range. This double weave, which uses 100% wool, originates from a design that Gerd Hay-Edie created in 1933.
Gerd wove this classic mid-century design a few times during her career. During the 1930's, Gordon Russell, the esteemed lifestyle designer from London, used this weave to upholster chairs and sofas from his collection.
During the late 1950's, it was resurrected as a commission for Michael Scott and the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin. Soft, warm and durable, Maldwyn Stripe brings a timeless feel to any home.
