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!
