The Inveraray Tweed
The Inveraray Tweed was last woven in Elgin over 130 years ago. Many District Tweeds from this period became lost in later enthusiasms for synthetic fabrics. Few merit revival so much as this rich and distinguished design. In 2003, after considerable research, Redshank Scotland of Inveraray commissioned the yarn with which to bring this vibrant and handsome tweed back to life. Using the original sample and weaver’s rod from 1872, Redshank has collaborated with the Islay Woollen Mill to recreate the pattern and match the quality of the 130-year-old weave. The first piece of Inveraray Tweed in over a century came off the looms at Bridgend on the Isle of Islay in February 2004.
