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.
