Wensleydale + Hebridean Tweed Collar




Wensleydale + Hebridean Tweed Collar
Locks of Wensleydale fleece felted into a lustrous tweed. Backed with silk noil.
About the tweed via Handa Textiles:
Woven in a traditional herringbone pattern on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. This is pretty much the most historically authentic tweed available! Created in small amounts by two women-run businesses in the UK: Daughter of a Shepherd, who provides the wool and design- then it is woven in a tiny historical weaving mill on the beach called Ardalanish- a place very near to where Handa founder, Hannah is from.
This beautiful heavy tweed cloth has a great structure and natural lustre, looking very similar to how Scottish tweed would have looked hundreds of years ago. No chemical processes or dyes and woven with 100% Hebridean fleece (See additional info on production and the Hebridean breed below). The natural shade is a very dark pitch brown flecked with silver fibers that catch the light.
