Tweed is a fabric made from woven sheep wool.
Harris Tweed
Tweed is a material/fabric. It is a wool cloth, rather coarse, and can come in many weaves and colors.
Very itchy!
Harris tweed is expensive because it is all hand woven on manual treadle looms as part of a labour intensive process in the outer Hebrides. Only fabric made there in the traditional way can be called Harris tweed - just as Champagne has to come from that region else it is just sparkling wine. It is a high quality low volume product and requires great skill to produce.
Harris Tweed is made exclusively in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The fabric is produced by local weavers using traditional methods and materials, with strict regulations in place to protect its authenticity and quality.
