Harris Tweed
The world famous Harris Tweed has been a stalwart of the Western Isles economy for generation upon generation. The softer and lighter tweeds made possible by today’s new rapier looms has seen the Clo Mor (Big Cloth) undergo a renaissance. So much so, that Harris Tweed is now a 'haute couture' regular on the catwalks of Milan, Paris and London.
