What is Weaver of a Life in Colour about?

Meet Malcolm, a young boy growing up on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, where colour, nature and Harris Tweed shape his world. As he learns the skills of spinning, dyeing and weaving, Malcolm discovers how threads can become beautiful cloth and how colours can express feelings and ideas. Blending a gentle story with facts about textiles and colour, this book introduces children to a traditional craft and celebrates creativity, family knowledge and Scotland’s rich weaving heritage.
