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.

Just Like You Said, ENGROSSING..... Thanx so much for sharing it.....those people really must have an incredible amount of patience and Knowledge in their heads....this was almost an art form.....I will wear my tweed jacket and waistcoat with a lot more pride now

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."
