I love wool. I have a wool blanket from France and a Wool hat and merino wool socks made in U.S.

I see you got the best of the Scottish weather on your travels. Thanks for supporting Scottish industry, I'm sure with this level of care all your jaiskets will turn out lovely

Thank you so much!!

This has got to be your best video so far. These have always been fun to watch, but your storytelling here has really kicked up a knotch. Your narration is very refined and paces the story well, and you gave Sam's interview segments plenty of time to breathe as she tells her story; there is a palpable atmosphere to the video. Not to mention your visuals are some of the best yet, particularly impressed with your color grading. You're getting some gorgeous dynamic range out of some of these vistas. I can tell you were excited to compose some of these shots. Keep it up, man.

I grew up witnessing weaving like this. My mom had a small cottage business weaving tea towels, rugs, baby blankets, etc. Sadly she’s now nearly blind so she rarely makes anything on her looms.

Great video! It was strange enough to see that you are in the UK but to then realise you are in Buckie was bizarre! Buckie is about as obscure a town as you could hope to find but my Dad was born there and we used to have holidays in Buckie when I was a child. My uncle Alec was a herring trawlerman who sailed out of Buckie harbour and Uncle Selwyn was with the Fleet Air Arm based in Lossiemouth. The local dialect is called Doric and my sister and I, who were both born and raised in Hertfordshire, which is just north of London, could barely make out what our aunts and uncles were saying. You've tapped a rich vein here, thank you and I hope you enjoy your visit.

Michael you're crushing it! It's so cool to see exactly where and how the special edition is being made. And the way that you film it feels really personal as you show us who is making the garments as well.

Really excellent video, I wish there was more! Would love to know how they maintain those old machines and where they find parts. SEH Kelly used Woven in the Bone wool on their Ulster this year and I regret not moving heaven and earth to get one.

In all seriousness the Moray coast is beautiful in any weather, a great drive in the ancient VW a bite in bijou by the sea ( Cullen skink if cold ) if it’s still there, then another failed attempt to launch a stone through bow fiddle rock for luck before the drive home, plus Buckie thistle have great shared heritage with Celtic fc

Just randomly picked up your channel, and this specific clip is wow just wow, having the educational edge like PBS, the easy dive and hook of Netflix, the relatable character and storytelling like Anthony Bourdain. Super impressed so far, keep it up!

This gets me even more excited for my mammoth and seeing the exclusive woven in the bone fabric!

This video is absolutely incredible. The insight is not only to the artisan but to the history of the nations which were built from these very techniques. Such a joy to watch. Truly well done!

*IM WEARING A PAIR OF HAND WOVEN HARRIS TWEED TROUSERS* - I bought 102m of various Harris Tweeds at a bankruptcy auction last month and I can tell you - its different, its lovely. It started of very oil/waxy and shiny which made chalking it a nightmare. Once worn for a few days a nap has raised and its SO tactile, its like wearing warm moss, or a fuzzy cactus but its nice to touch. I cant describe it cos I have not had a cloth like this before. It feels like heather LOOKS.
