The yarn that @UistWool produced from Sweeny's fleeces was lovely to work with - from warping to weaving! So pleased @sweenyness liked the finished tweed!
"Being able to produce Harris Tweed® is one of the best things I have ever done on the croft." - Donald Macsween @airanlot🐏 🎥A Harris Tweed® Story to watch👇 Harris Tweed® cloth handwoven by @taobhtuath & Orb Certified by us✅ #NationalStoryTellingWeek #HarrisTweed® @mac_tbh
Visited @UistWool yesterday where Neil showed us around, switched on BBC ALBA tonight and there if is again. A fantastic product and Neil was so welcoming explaining how the yarn was made. Only found it by driving down a road for the first time whilst holidaying. A real treat

@UistWool You have just caught me planning something in fair isle!
This knitting thing’s becoming a bit of a habit... a tank top made from some very fine wool from @UistWool. Like the jumper I previously knitted this one also fits so I think I may quit while I’m ahead.
These are beautiful 😍, love the collaboration in production.
New to Uist Wool are these wonderful bags and pouches. Harris Tweed woven by @taobhtuath with our own yarns, transformed into great accessories by @KalopsiaC and ready just in time for great Winter gifts. 🎁 6 sizes 🎁 4 tweeds 🎁 available now at the Wool Centre & online
