Oh, I love this. Have you ever been to Shilisdair on Skye?? It's a wonderful yarn shop in Waternish, and the contributing sheep are just beyond the door.

Rebecca

Oh and I do so love the stuff, beautiful, beautiful tweed. So come on? Did you purchase anything??

Cornflower

I haven't been there, Pamela, though I've heard of it - I'll note it for another trip!

Cornflower

Just tiny things, Rebecca (they'll be coming up tomorrow), but the friend who was with us bought a length of Mr. MacLean's tweed to have a jacket made - it's lovely stuff.

Fran

The colours are so beautiful, the mists of heather, rock, mountain and sea- nothing like it in the world. I too would have been tempted to buy a small piece of this traditional craft.

Louise

Heavenly!

Mary

Looks like you had a wonderful time - there is absolutely nothing else like Harris Tweed or the Hebrides themselves. The star of your first picture is utterly winsome, too!

Thankyou, Jan, I've put up a link!

How wonderful! This kind of handmade artisanal product has got to be preserved. That you got to see the process up close is delightful

Easy and Elegant Life

Hmm. hoping the gravatar followed me. Forgive the random posting to see if it will. Thanks.

P.S. did you come away with any of the Harris Tweed?

Cornflower

Yes, and one of our party is having a jacket made with Mr. MacLean's tweed even as we speak!

Just lovely, I would love to see the mill and meet the owners!

Hi

We love this blog now and so pleased that our lambs are on it still! They are much much bigger now! We would love to see a picture of the jacket when it is finished. This was one of our heavier weight tweeds I believe. It is very encouraging for us to read all the favourable comments left by your readers. Thank you!

Cornflower

I hope to have a picture before too long - and indeed to be back in Lewis next year!
