Скачать или смотреть How Harris Tweed Cloth Is Made

While traveling through Scottish Highlands we ended up on the Isle of Harris and got the opportunity to take a tour of the Harris Tweed Mill to see how Harris Tweed cloth is made including getting to pay a visit to a home weaver.

From the Harris Tweed website;

Harris Tweed cloth - Clo Mor (Gaelic for ‘The Big Cloth’) – is the only fabric in the world governed by its own Act of Parliament and the only fabric produced in commercial quantities by truly traditional methods.

Harris Tweed has a rare character and beauty. Hundreds of distinctive patterns have been developed over centuries, each one unique, but unmistakably Harris Tweed.

Unusually, the wool is dyed before being spun, allowing a multitude of colours to be blended into the yarn, creating a cloth of great depth and complexity.
