The wool for Harris Tweed comes primarily from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, where it is sourced from local sheep, particularly the hardy Hebridean breed. The wool is then spun and woven by hand in small mills on the islands, adhering to strict regulations that ensure its authenticity. This traditional craftsmanship is integral to Harris Tweed's unique quality and heritage.
