What is a Tartan? |
|||
|
My Looms | ||
| Each summer I try to attend the Alaska Scottish Games
in Eagle River, Alaska. When I do attend, my portable Baby Wolf loom accompanies
me. I use it to demonstrate tartan weaving. I also represent Clan MacNaughton
at these games. For more information on the Alaska Scottish games, check
out the Alaskan Scottish Club

A series of colored stripes running the length of the cloth (warp) that is reproduced exactly in the threads across the width of the cloth (weft). The color pattern is the point of emphasis and each particular combination (sett) distinguishes the different clan, family, dress, hunting and district tartans.
I use a 45" Nilus
Leclerc floor loom, and a 25" Schacht Baby Wolf floor loom. The Leclerc
is my workhorse. I've had this loom since 1984 and it traveled with
me from California to Alaska.
