Making Harris Tweed on the Isle of Harris...and Lewis

The world famous Harris Tweed can only be produced in one place on the planet, The Isle of Harris...and Lewis. From traditional farms, known as crofts, to the traditional mills, and traditional weavers, wool becomes yarn, and thread becomes fabric, in a land beaming with history.

👍Terrific info. I’m so happy that the fabric is still produced in people’s homes on the island. I’m glad they have the protection of 1993 Harris Tweed Act. Even as a child I had enough good sense to know that Harris Tweed was something special.💞

👍😍I would love to ride one of those bicycle weaving machines all day and be part of the process and history of making this special material.💞

If the hosts would have worn tweed throughout the show, it would have made it that much nicer.

Absolutely amazing to watch. I have 2 caps from Scotland that are Harris Tweed. They have the trade mark patch. I love it
