Connections: Sheep to Chanel Part 13 Linton Tweeds Keith Walker

This is part 13 of an interactive video called Connections: Sheep to Chanel. Go to to see the film in full plus masses of additional material on how to spin, weave etc. The technique is also a blueprint for education, teaching and e-learning which we demonstrate here. Various icons that you see appearing and disappearing on screen in the interactive version of the film are clickable and take you to new places and new material. We’ve come full circle from the Sheep to Chanel. We go to Linton Tweeds to meet the managing director Keith Walker, who tells us about the heritage and quality of this international business based in Carlisle. They have important customers including the fashion house Chanel since the 1920’s. On the interactive version of the film you can go behind the scenes to see the material being tested out on 200 year old hand looms. You can also see how a modern day loom with hundreds of threads gets set up. Go to the interactive version to learn more
