| We will advise a suitable time for a weaving demonstration. There may be occasions where a tie in or draft change is in progress therefor the loom will not be in production. If you are resident for a week,in most cases you will see Harris Tweed being woven. Short breaks we cannot guarantee this but every effort will be made.
