The Weaver

John has extensive expertise and a vast knowledge in all areas of the production of Harris Tweed, going back over 30 years. Beginning with the design of a particular pattern, warping the yarn as the pattern requires, beaming the yarn onto the loom and carrying out the mechanical modifications required to the loom (draught changes, tappits etc) John undertakes all aspects with the confidence and flair that comes from his years of experience.

Harris Tweed design and production is something of a family tradition for John as his late father (Kenneth “Garry” MacLean) was himself a well known and award winning Harris Tweed Producer and Designer.

A native of the Isle of Lewis, in addition to being a producer of Harris Tweed John is also an active crofter.
