The shape of this season’s compelling knitwear demands a double-take. Here, the designers at Ireland’s Westend Knitwear have created a Donegal tweed and merino wool cape which is stunning. The wonderful yarn is woven by the only Donegal mill still working in Ireland: it is part of Irish history. The lining is natural Aran wool. As to the result, the gorgeous tweed combines with the elasticity and comfort of a knit. Warm it up even more by wearing a roll-neck and trousers or jeans, skirt and leggings. It looks great either way and the soft, warm hood is a boon when the winds begin to blow. Sizes S/M, M/L.
RRP £200. CCUK £129.
