A fuitheag is a lease band or bits of a warp left after weaving and is a by-product of the Harris Tweed industry. Commonly used to tie the greasy tweeds before finishing, these woollen ‘ropes’ are often to be found in abundance in loom sheds!
Rather than see them thrown away, I decided to get creative and ‘draw’ with them instead.
The external dimensions of the frame are approx 9″ x 9″ and there’s a hook on the back.

I’m Rebecca Hutton, a traditional Harris Tweed weaver from Northton, in the Isle of Harris.
I weave on a Hattersley Loom MKII in my shed in the back garden, just as generations before me have done.
Harris Tweed is available to buy here, and I am always pleased to chat about special commissions.
