Waulking the cloth, waulking the song. Modern carding and spinning techniques allow for much lighter, finer yarns, which makes for a soft and wearable fabric. The finishing processes have also been refined over the years, meaning the "handle" of Harris Tweed® today is almost unrecognisable from what it was a century ago.100 years ago the raw, unfinished, fabric was stiff, loose, and rough. Through a rhythmic, communal process called walking, women would soften and shrink it by hand.They sang pow

🎵 LIVE SESSION Les waulking songs ou òran-luaidh sont des chants de travail traditionnels écossais qui accompagnaient le foulage de la laine. Les Écossaises frappaient la laine autour d’une table dans un rythme plus ou moins soutenu, tout en entonnant ces refrains. La chanson s’enchaîne ici avec la gigue traditionnelle irlandaise « Magic Potion Jig » inspirée de la tradition du lilting qui consiste à reproduire à la voix une mélodie destinée à des instruments pour accompagner la danse. ~ ~ ~ ~

Waulking the Wool at Outlander Day 2025 One of the most loved parts of Outlander Day is the waulking demonstration – and it’s easy to see why. The Badenoch Waulking Group joined us once again, showing the traditional method of softening and finishing hand-woven tweed, just as it would’ve been done in Highland communities for centuries. The rhythm, the songs, the teamwork – it’s all part of a process that’s both practical and cultural. Some of the women in the group even appeared in Outlander Sea

‘Waulking’ was the last stage in the production of homespun tweed. During this process, the cloth would be beaten rhythmically, usually by hand, to shrink and soften it. It would generally be carried out by a group of between eight and twelve women on a hard surface, such as a table, and was known as luathadh in Gaelic. Waulking songs would be sung throughout this laborious process in order to keep the rhythm and make the work a little easier. It was also a social occasion, with the opportunity
