What you’ll find

What Harris Tweed Hebrides is known for

Harris Tweed Hebrides dyes and spins wool at its Shawbost Mill on Lewis, then sends it out to roughly 173 independent weavers who hand-weave the cloth on treadle looms in their own island homes. The mill supplies fashion and interiors houses while keeping production rooted in the craft's 1840s origins.
