Castaway Crafts - Harris Tweed OPEN ANYTIME BY ARRANGEMENT, CONTACT FIONA ON 07979660579 Hi, I am Fiona and I have been sewing since I was 8yrs old. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CastawayTweeds

I have been using Harris Tweed for the past 20 years since I started my business Castaway Crafts, in a little cottage shop/ workshop in the Isle of Harris in 2001. Now back in Orkney and still working mainly with Harris Tweed, I have continued with the same type of business here but on a slightly bigger scale. I now have over 100 other local crafters selling through me in my shop so are spoiled fo

r choice and in for a real treat when you visit. The shop certainly does offer a window into the vast talent of the many crafters and a huge range of products to suit every pocket and occasion. You will find me in my workshop, working on a range of Tweed products that I have developed over the past 20 years and you can also find a small selection of them on my Etsy shop if you are unable to visit Orkney.

I had a lovely surprise from an unexpected visitor today.
After the disappointing outcome of the court case against my shoplifter last year, where the court ignored all the evidence I gathered and awarded all the other shops compensation, and the return of the goods seized. One of the shop keepers decided to give me the compensation she has received, as a thank you, for bringing it to the attention of her and the others. I have also previously had 2 lovely people give me some products to sell and a local couple gave me a gift of some money as soon as they heard what had happened. I also had a few customers who wanted to come and spend some money in the shop as a show of support. This has all helped to cover some of the cost of the stolen goods. Thanks to the lovely people who have shown such kindness, you know who you are, it really does mean a lot and has restored my faith in humanity after such a horrible experience.
