This short documentary takes a look into the Harris Tweed industry on the Lewis and Harris Island in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides.

Over 170 freelance weavers reside on this island and weave the famous tweed from their very own homes.

Harris Tweed is a protected industry with a rich history. The skill has been passed on from generation to generation, and this film looks at all the different skills involved in the process, from farming to weaving.
