Celtic Clan and District Tartans

Description

Using 18th century weaving looms, I try to follow the traditional methods of handweaving both early American and early Scottish textiles.

Admittedly just beginning my journey through Scottish history, in particular Scottish weaving history I am fortunate to have good and knowledgeable people passing along what they know in an effort to see the skills kept alive for future generations.

My goal is to find and restore if need be, 18th & 19th century weaving/ spinning tools for use in weaving textiles from the same period.

So far I have four looms from this time period and a dozen or more spinning wheels as well as many of the accessories needed to use them.

For custom woven scarf of your clan tartan, I require three weeks for the weaving and a 50% deposit.

Please feel free to contact me with questions. Other types of custom weaving also available such as blankets, crib blankets, etc.
