Umluki
Igama lam ndinguMiriam Hamilton kwaye ndafunda ukuluka ngokwindla ka-2018, ndifundiswa ngumnikazi wangaphambili kaHatty, indoda ene-crofter eneminyaka engama-90. Wavuma ukundithengisela uHatty wandifundisa ukuluka, ngoko ndachitha iiyure ezininzi kweyakhe. ishedi encinane yokulukela loo mpahla iqhaqhazelisa amazinyo awayeyilukele kangangeminyaka engama-50. Wawuzuza njengelifa intambo yokuluka kuyise, owayeyithenge ngokungqalileyo kumzi-mveliso waseHattersley eKeighley, eYorkshire.
IShedi
Iishedi zokuluka eziqhelekileyo, njengaleyo ndandifunde ukulukela kuyo, yayizizakhiwo zebhloko okanye zamatye ezingenazo 'zithuthuzeli' zokwenyani ezifana nokugquma, ukukhanya okundilisekileyo, ukufudumeza njl.njl. Ndagqiba ekubeni ndifuna ishedi 'eyiposh' kwaye ke iShedi yokuluka yenziwa. Yenzelwe iziqingatha ezibini; enye ibe nesixa esichanekileyo segumbi leHatty, i-winder ye-pirn, i-warping frame kunye ne-bobbin stand kunye nenye njengevenkile yestudiyo. I 'posh' shed ineembono ezimangalisayo phezu kweLoch, kunye nendawo eninzi kunye nokukhanya ukubona i-loom kunye nazo zonke iinkqubo zokuluka.

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!
