Created by Gerd Hay-Edie and used by designer Robin Day for Hille in 1951, the Mourne Check was to become a signature fabric widely used for much of his furniture during his ten year period designing for the brand.
Proud to bring the Check back into production, our weavers pay careful attention to remain true to Gerd's archetypal designs. This durable linen, wool and cotton mix is carefully handwoven on the Kentish looms originally imported in the 1950's, with colours matched from original heritage palettes.

Mended Tweed Blanket - Charcoal Grey
£195.00
Visit product page →A fabric designed especially 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 layered weave, the cloth acquires it's organic, tactile quality from 'wild' traditional spun Pure Merino Donegal yarn, which creates beautiful flecks throughout, making each blanket completely unique.
