Teilling

Teilling is a traditional form of weaving that originated in the Scottish Highlands, particularly in the Hebrides and the Western Isles. It is a method of weaving that involves the use of a loom with a single warp thread, which is passed over and under a series of weft threads. The weft threads are typically made from wool or linen, and are woven in a pattern that creates a distinctive texture and appearance. Teilling is often used to create decorative items such as rugs, wall hangings, and clothing, and is known for its intricate and detailed patterns. The process of teilling involves a high degree of skill and precision, and is often passed down through generations within families. Today, teilling is still practiced by a small number of weavers in Scotland, and is recognized as an important part of the country's cultural heritage.
