Tarras Tweed
In a town long famed for the production of high quality and beautifully coloured fabrics, we produce our range of Tarras Tweed, a soft handling Shetland type cloth which has found favour for many end uses. From an extensive palette of richly hued melange yarns we attempt to capture in our wool tweed fabric the vast array of seasonal tones that Nature provides in the surrounding hills and valleys.
Provenance.
Unlike much of the fabric, throws and rugs which you see for sale on-line and in many of the "tourist shops" around the land ours is genuinely produced here.
Designed here, Warped and Woven here, Finished here.
Made in Scotland.
We are proud of our products and where they are made, the employment they give and the communities they support.

tarras tweed
"The weaving of soft wool tweed is synonymous with Langholm, it owes it's very being to the tweed. Set at the confluence of the Esk, the Ewes and the Wauchope, wool and wool tweed has been processed here for centuries"
"The seemingly endless variations of the moorland colours and the very essence of the Border hills seep into the wool tweeds woven in these mills"
