Harris Tweed and Knitwear Ltd was started by Marion Campbell, BEM who was born in 1909, the same year that gave birth to the Harris Tweed Association.  She oversaw and conducted the entire process herself, from raising the sheep that provided the wool, spinning and dyeing the yarn for her loom right through to the finished tweed length.

The company is now ran by Marion’s great niece Catherine Campbell and it is Catherine herself who visited Tracy in January.  Since receiving their first order they have extended the range that they buy from Created By The Ridley’s and order on a monthly basis. Tracy Continues “When I asked them why they were buying from me as there are cheaper versions of my products on the market, there answer was simply one word “Quality””
