Waulking Skye Weavers Tweed

Keeping Highland traditions alive: Watch Sgioba Luaidh Inbhirchluaidh, the Inverclyde Waulking Group, waulking our herringbone tweed at Auchindrain Township. Waulking is an age-old method of hand-finishing newly woven tweed to thicken and soften it. We wove this tweed on our pedal powered looms using wool from Isle of Skye sheep.

So wonderful to know that the old traditions are still being honored. I hope the younger generation will learn and preserve these traditions.

Thank you for sharing this! I've seen the proces of walking on the table before (the same group I believe), but not what else happens. I do hope that some day someone will make a video sheep-to-cloth the traditional way ❤ Shears, handspinning, weaving, walking

Skye is an island off west coast of Scotland. Lewis and Harris are the other islands, called the Hebrides

This was a waulking demonstration at the Auchindrain Township museum near Inveraray, Argyll, Scotland. The tweed was woven by us (Skye Weavers) on the Isle of Skye. You can read more about the whole process on our blog: www.skyeweavers.co.uk/blog/waulking-the-tweed
