dieworkwear.bsky.social @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 10hTweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape. 896264611
dieworkwear.bsky.social @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 10hMy friend Mark Cho, co-founder of The Armoury, visited Lovat Mill in Scotland some years ago. He filmed this charming video with Lovat co-owner and design director Alan Cumming, who explains what goes into making tweed. You can see how many bright colors are used to make a "simple" earthy color.4:28 PM · Sep 29, 2026 100
Hav @havfree.bsky.social · 10h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialHave you read John of John by Douglas Stuart? It’s a must read because it’s a very good book, but also because its description of the tweed weaving process and the weavers themselves are so beautifully described. 2180

Paul Guthrie @pguthrie.bsky.social · 10h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialNow try pronouncing the town where the Lovat Mill is located. I’ve tended to find tweeds too “scratchy”. Has that changed in the last few years? 260

Fridarey @fridarey.bsky.social · 10h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialI live in the North of Scotland and have always loved tweed. I'd not seen this video before; it's fantastic. I like tartan too, but where tartan is often a statement (nothing wrong with that!), a tweed jacket is just a lovely multi-use item of clothing that can blend into so many occasions. Thanks! 1130

BettyStovesEyes @bettystoveseyes.bsky.social · 10h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialIf anyone's planning to visit Scotland: Don't buy tweed/ cashmere in a tourist shop in Edinburgh... Come on down to the Scottish Borders (take the train and a bus) and visit the mill shops here. They're lovely. You'll pay a lot less. We are really nice here. And it is a LOT less crowded! 2528

Mels @maimysantiago99.northsky.social · 9h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialThis makes me think of painting. New painters are told ASAP that a black composed of other colors is a more interesting and evocative black than just using black paint 120
nexxo.bsky.social @nexxo.bsky.social · 9h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialWe live in a rural stone farmhouse. We're thinking of tweed winter curtains, because it is warm but also reflects the colours of nature. And the texture goes great with stone and wood. 160

Andrea Yakovakis @dealane.bsky.social · 2h↪ Replying to @dieworkwear.bsky.socialI kept hearing him say tweets instead of tweeds and then saying it's made up of many different yarns, which is another term for made up stories. It all makes sense in an upside down way. 010
