Neon Kerchief

Designed in Leitrim, hand dyed in studio, and knit in Dublin by Marian, the Gorse Flower Kerchief is a small, luminous piece shaped by place and process. The yarn begins as a mohair tweed wool, traditionally spun by Donegal Yarns. Each piece is then hand dyed in studio, building a vivid yellow drawn from the brightness of gorse in bloom, that unmistakable colour that cuts through hedgerows and hillsides across the West.

Knit by Marian using a tuck stitch, the structure opens the surface gently, creating a soft, airy texture that holds warmth without weight. It sits lightly at the neck, folding and draping with ease, more like an accent than a layer, yet quietly functional. The scale is intentional. It can be tied simply or worn loose, bringing a sharp lift of colour against cream Aran, dark wool, or in contrast with denim. 

Mohair tweed wool spun by Donegal Yarns. Tuck stitch for a soft, open texture.
Lightweight, warm, and breathable. One size. Each piece unique. Small-batch production.

Pearl’s work has become known for its intricate patterns, sculpted silhouettes and her signature touches of neon. Each design begins with the wearer, shaped for warmth, ease and the simple pleasure of putting on something thoughtfully made. Inspiration comes from everyday rural life, from working the land to long walks through remote forests, and from the small foraged treasures that make their way onto her studio shelves.

If you wish to wash this piece, handwashing in lukewarm water is advised. Dry flat and never tumble dry.

PEARL REDDINGTON knitwear is made entirely in Ireland through close partnerships with small family run factories in the Donegal. These workshops have generations of skill behind them and are central to keeping traditional knitting knowledge alive. Pearl works side by side with their technicians, developing shapes, testing tension and refining each piece until it feels right.

Pearl’s approach to sustainability is rooted in material honesty and longevity. She works only with natural fibres, primarily Donegal yarn spun locally in Kilcar. These yarns, rich with the colour and texture of the landscape, are durable, biodegradable and made within an hour’s drive of her studio. For intarsia details and neon accents she uses raw Donegal yarn that is cold bath dyed in Scotland in a custom neon shade, keeping the process low impact while maintaining full fibre integrity.
