Clo Beag Chirsty Bella

Tha Chirsty Bella bheag ag iarraidh Clò Mòr Hearach a dhèanamh. Little Chirsty Bella wants to make Harris Tweed.

Tha Chirsty Bella ag iarraidh Clò Hearach a dhèanamh…tha e gu math nas fhasa smaoineachadh air sin na tha e ga chuir an gnìomh. Tha ì a’ fuireach ann an Scalpaigh, Na Hearadh. Tha gaol aice air a h-eilean agus tha ì ga cumail fhèin trang le bhith a reic uighean agus a dèanamh dannsa Gàidheallach. ‘S toigh leatha cuideachd an clò ainmeil clùiteach: Clò Hearach. Tha an t-seann bheairt mar time machine, ga toirt air ais gu lìnn an fhearsaid, nan càrd, ‘s a spàl. An teid orra à clò a dhèanamh ann an àm?

Chirsty Bella wants to produce her own Harris tweed but that is easier said than done. She lives in Scalpay, a little village in the Isle of Harris, loves her island and keeps herself going through little jobs like selling eggs and traditional Scottish Highland dancing. She also loves the famous and traditional fabric: Harris Tweed. The original Harris Tweed loom is like a time machine that takes her back over a hundred years to the age of spindles, combs and shuttles. Will she manage to weave her cloth in time?
