‘Knit designer Heather Finn, who has just become the proud mother of a baby girl called Ruby Rose, has drawn on her grandmotherâs wardrobe for her latest collection called âJungle Glitterâ. Her usual skill with colour has been mixed with Lurex and other metallic threads for a sparkling collection inspired by 1940s leopard, zebra and giraffe prints associated with her flamboyant grandmother, in soft cashmere and lambswool. The mix of capes, wraps, scarves and ponchos also includes other predator references, such as this tiger fringe snood in cashmere and lambswool (âŹ95) which can be found in Jennifer Rothwellâs boutique in Powerscourt or direct from Finnâs website, heatherfinn.com’.
Oranmore Castle’s annual Christmas event is on Fri 18th December from 5pm – 8pm with mulled wine, a roaring fire and lots of gorgeous knits that will make the perfect gift! Continues Saturday 19th December from noon – 2pm.
Heather Finn Knitwear will be at the Wilde Design Fair 10th – 12th Dec’15 in The Dublin Chamber of Commerce, 7 Clare St, opposite the National Gallery (new wing).
