Unit IX.

I. Read and translate the text. Scottish textiles: tweed

Scotland is best known for two fabrics that have helped to create its sense of national identity: tweed and tartan.

Tweed, woven from carded short wool, using rough fibres and warm rustic colours, has come to evoke the countryside and the Spartan outdoors associated with British ness.

The word itself is an English variant on the Scottish word tweed which referred to the wool cloth woven by hand Scottish highlanders and island dwellers.

The term became associated with the Tweed River dividing England and Scotland and then become a description for all carded homespun wool, including Irish Donegal and cheviot tweeds. Harris Tweed, however, is the build and international profile for Scottish textiles.

This cloth originates from the beautiful and remote islands of the Outer Hebrides-including Lewis, Harris, Uist, Barra and Benbecula – off the west coast of Scotland. The cloth woven there, known generically as “Harris tweed”, has become one of the most famous wool textiles in the world used predominantly in the menswear market.

The production of Harris Tweed supports around 350-450 freelance weavers, mainly located on the islands of Harris and Lewis. The industry owes its history to a project pioneered in the 1840s by Lady Dunmore, wife of the Laird of Harris, who championed the wearing of tweed to encourage and handcraft techniques. The wool produced principally on the mainland of Scotland and is taken to factories on the islands where it is prepared and dyed. The traditional colors derived from natural material: orange from ragweed, green from heather or iris, red from lichen scraped from coastal rocks. Natural dyes are still sometimes used, but they have largely replaced with synthetic dyes able to maintain the consistent repeat patterns and styles the modern clothing industry requires.
