Comments for The life of a crofter and weaver to be http://crofterbecca.islandblogging.co.uk I've recently moved back home and I'm setting up life as a crofter and weaver. This is my journey.

I'm still undecided about whether or not to weave for the mill. If I go down that route, then I'll just be weaving what they send me and then sending it back up to them to be sold. I need to weave and keep my first 6 tweeds as they'll be used for assessment purposes, but I'll be able to sell them afterwards! Anything I weave for myself, I’ll probably just sell by the metre.

Yes, it was woven on a Hattersley Mark II loom. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before I get my own up and running and weaving some more! Thank you.

Would love to have some authenic tweed. It's been many many years since we've visited Scotland and I yearn to be back there again. I’ll keep checking back for pictures.

I love to hear the clack clack clattering of the loom. Mesmerising!
