One hundred and fi fty years ago, the people of this island created a unique cloth, a tweed woven entirely by hand that was to become world famous. Today, it is known simply as Harris Tweed. To this day, Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world protected by an Act of Parliament. It must be “made with 100% pure virgin wool, dyed, spun and fi nished in the Outer Hebrides and woven by hand by the Islanders in their homes on the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra.” Harris Tweed production is monitored on a daily basis and all fabric is inspected and approved before being stamped with their trademark.
