Harris Tweed: Harris is famous for having given its name to Harris Tweed. The first marketing of Harris Tweed was arranged by Lady Dunmore, the owner of Harris in the 1850's. She arranged to sell the cloth woven by the weavers of Harris to her own family and friends and so commercial Harris Tweed was created. Today the visitor to Harris can still see Harris Tweed being made on the croft using the single width loom, the old wooden loom, and even the new double width loom. The visitor can also see the process right through from the shearing of the wool to the finished garment.
