    Short doc on Harris Tweed

    Not yet sure if a longer and more in depth piece is in the works, but this clip, while short, is quite engrossing, and when I came across it I immediately thought it would be most appreciated here.

    Interesting and it piqued my interest a bit to so a little more surfing on a quiet Sunday afternoon when we're iced in here in the Atlanta suburbs.

    This video is far more detailed and takes you through how a tartan is weaved for a kilt:

    This is a very similar video that takes you through the Harris Tweed production process, from raw wool through dying to final cloth; very interesting:

    Thanks Mac y for posting the Harris Tweed video. I thought it very well produced and informative.

    And thanks TandemGeek for posting the Dalgliesh video. I didn't think either of the YouTube videos were as well produced (the audio sounded like it was made in a very small room), but the Dalgliesh video was important to me because that is where my current kilt (by current I mean currently being tailored) was woven. It was nice to see the weaving process in detail.
    Regards,
    Tom

    Yea, after another view I realized I short changed it in the title: it's more a poem to a community than a "Short doc on Harris Tweed."
