Breanish Tweed is a type of handwoven cloth from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. The cloth can incorporate Shetland wool, lambswool, cashmere and vicuna.
The cloth is woven on the Yorkshire built Hattersley loom and is single width. It is almost exclusively used by bespoke tailors and fashion houses.
