Tise a

Hatty mwen Hattersley tise. Okòmansman te pote nan zile a kòm yon mak nouvo devinèt flatpacked nan (apeprè) 1940 li te travay pa twa jenerasyon pou prèske 80 ane. Fèt nan fè jete ak bwa li te vin tounen yon travay atistik poukont li. Divots yo sou bra yo kòm li te etabli nan pozisyon, mete nan ba a soti nan ane nan tise men yo, penti yo ta vle chanje koulè ak depo lwil oliv. Tout ede fè chak tise Hattersley inik epi ba yo pwòp pèsonalite yo 

Weaver la

Non mwen se Miriam Hamilton epi mwen te aprann tise nan otòn 2018, ansyen pwopriyetè Hatty, yon mesye k ap fè 90 an, te anseye. ti tise yon ti koule frèt kote li te trese pandan 50 ane. Li te eritye tise a nan men papa l ', ki te achte l' orijinal nan faktori Hattersley nan Keighley, Yorkshire.

Koule a

Koule tissage tradisyonèl yo, tankou sa a mwen te aprann tise nan, yo te blòk oswa estrikti wòch ki pa gen okenn 'konfò' reyèl tankou izolasyon, ekleraj desan, chofaj elatriye Mwen deside mwen te vle yon koule 'chik' e konsa yo te kreye Shed Tissage a. Ki fèt an de mwatye; youn gen egzakteman kantite plas pou Hatty, pirn winder, ankadreman an deformation ak kanpe nan bobin ak lòt la kòm yon boutik estidyo. Koule 'chik' a gen opinyon sansasyonèl sou Loch la, ak anpil espas ak limyè pou wè tise a ak tout pwosesis resi yo.

A wee video showing some of the processes involved in creating the a tweed! To actually make a tweed from start to finish takes several weeks. We have to make the warp, beam it onto the loom, tie each new thread to the corresponding one of the old warp (696 knots!), then pull the warp through the loom. It then takes around 5 days to weave a tweed depending on the complexity and length before the woven cloth has to be sent to the mainland mill for finishing. Woven cloth needs to be washed, dried, cropped and pressed (known as finishing) before it can finally be sewn!
