In 1938, Angus Litster moved to Devon from Scotland and established the Hand-Weavers of Bovey Tracey. These looms made extraordinarily beautiful tweed for 82 years until the business closed on Christmas Eve 2019 when Litster’s daughter and son-in-law retired.
We were fortunate to obtain a remaining lengths of its historic tweed, which we are turning into our Chelkers caps.
This pale blue piece is, we feel, very special and we had just enough fabric to make three.
