Tearing Tweed

[piperdbh]

I'm about to start work on a tweed kilt skirt for my wife. I suspect I can simply year the fabric just like worsted wool tartan wool even though it's herringbone, but I thought I'd just check in with anyone who has used the fabric before first. Tear it or cut it?

I ripped my first piece of tartan today, but I haven't messed with my tweed. However, tweed is woven from a heavier (and maybe stronger) yarn than worsted tartan, so if it were me, I'd cut it.

What colors is your tweed?
