Harris Tweed®

Born out of a necessity for hard-wearing, warm clothing, Harris Tweed is still created to this day by hand-weaving sheep’s wool on manually powered looms—it is dyed, dried, blended and spun in the mills, then sent out to skilled islanders, who weave it into the fabric at their at-home looms.

The whole process creates the durable, warm and unique fabric we all know as Harris Tweed. Great for jackets, it brings warmth but doesn't create bulk.

Check out our visit to see the dyeing process, and our recent team trip to the Harris Tweed Mill.
