A very good piece. One bit of the story I've long disagreed with is the statement on the label that Harris Tweed is 'handwoven' - it is not. You are correct to say that it's produced entirely by human effort but the Hattersley and subsequent looms are not handlooms. The Harris Tweed Association continue to insist that the material is handwoven which is rather disingenuous.
