The Harris Tweed® Journal

Speckled palette

18th September

On Hebridean shores barnacles and mussels cling to the rocks, their colours shifting through greys, reds, deep blacks and muted browns.

These hardy creatures withstand crashing waves and changing tides, filtering the sea and adding rich texture to the coastline.

The flecked and speckled palette of this intertidal world mirrors the character of Harris Tweed®; earthy, durable and full of depth. Capturing the rugged beauty and resilience of our island environment in every thread.
