South Korea target market for Harris Tweed mill
BBC Scotland
The largest producer of Harris Tweed has made South Korea its target market for growth in 2012.
Shawbost-based Harris Tweed Hebrides said orders for its produce in general were already 25 per cent ahead of the same stage last year.
The company said demand was so high in 2011 it had to turn away work because there were not enough weavers to meet the orders.
Japan was the Western Isles mill's biggest market last year.
