Harris Tweed

A detail of a jacket collar in Harris Tweed for the Macro Mondays' theme "Cloth".

 

Harris Tweed is a traditional woollen cloth from the Scottish Western Isles, namely from the Island of Harris & Lewis - yes, one island, two parts and two names! The cloth is highly valued for its warmth and durability. As you can see there are many many colours woven into the fabric, as well as a herring-bone pattern, giving it a very attractive appearance. The red slash is from the lining of the collar.

The image is a tight-crop and has unfortunately lost some IQ in processing, so it does not quite represent the truly high resolution that this lens can achieve.

 

HMM!
