Fashion trend: A homespun yarn

The fabric of Irish fashion has a special place in our landscape — both physical and cultural. 

Meet three textile tastemakers putting a new spin on a traditional yarn.

DESIGN NOTES:

THE TWEED PROJECT:

(Triona Lillis of Astór and Aoibheann MacNamara) creates handmade, one-off pieces that combine Irish fabrics with clean, contemporary tailoring. Each piece is made to order and made to last a lifetime. www.thetweedproject.com

STABLE:

Herringbone scarves are deliciously capacious and handwoven in Ireland. Made with 100% wool and taking six weeks to complete, their generous size elevates heritage to high fashion. https://stable.ie

ELAINE MADIGAN CASHMERE:

Draws inspiration from the Irish personality and countryside. The most loved things about home are reflected in the gentle palette, elegant lines and celebrated warmth of her everyday luxuries. www.elainemadigancashmere.com
