A wee video showing some of the processes involved in creating the a tweed! To actually make a tweed from start to finish takes several weeks. We have to make the warp, beam it onto the loom, tie each new thread to the corresponding one of the old warp (696 knots!), then pull the warp through the loom. It then takes around 5 days to weave a tweed depending on the complexity and length before the woven cloth has to be sent to the mainland mill for finishing. Woven cloth needs to be washed, dried, cropped and pressed (known as finishing) before it can finally be sewn!

Two Sisters Tweeds

Handwoven on my 80 year old Hattersley loom from pure new wool, sold from the quarter meter
so you can order as much or as little as you want! 

Tweed and Yarn Offcuts

Handwoven by myself or other Islanders from pure wool. These offcut bags are perfect for patchwork, quilting and small projects such as jewellery, keyrings, purses, cufflinks etc! The yarn ends are great for embroidery, stumpwork, needle felting, small looms etc limited only by your imagination!
