The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-02-18, Page 16PAGE 2A —GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18,1981 Keeping you in stitches BY SALLY MacEWAN TIP: To prevent stret- ching ' when stitching a woven fabric to a knit, always have the woven layer on top. Tweed is an ancient Scot- tish fabric. Villages near the English border- situated on the banks of, the River Tweed, produced the nubby herring -bone ,, and hounds- " tooth checks, The local cloth of the Outer Hebrides Islands, off the Scottish coast was the wannest and the most durable of the tweeds. This woollen fabric was . called Harris Tweed, after the name of the main islands Southern district. It was completely hand-woven. A farmer would clip the fleece from his sheep and wash it in 'rain water. The wool was dyed from wild plants picked from the moors and rocky shores. The cloth was woven on hand , looms in • the farmers' living rooms. The neighbours were then called to help with the process known as waulking. It was similar to the Canadian barn -raising or perhaps the pioneer _quilting bees., The tweed was soaked in am- monia and soap suds. Then, it was kneaded against scrub boards" by hands. or even, feet. The cloth was then strung up to dry lathe wind: Tweed became the most popular " fabric in England's wool making history. People clamoured for bolts of the rugged tweed that had the scent of mist, heather and peat smoke of the Highlands.
