    Weaving WIP

    Hello I mentioned a while back that I had requisitioned a loom with which I hoped to weave tartan cloth.

    Well I have the yarns on the way and this is the design I made to begin with (I got the yarns in an Ebay deal and designed the pattern from what I was able to pick up.)



    This might take a while but watch this space and we'll see how it turns out.

    The colors remind me of the Farnklin, NC tartan:

    Which is funny, because the Franklin tartan was designed based on the colors of the yarn available, as well.

    I wonder if that's why so many tartans look alike - what yarn was available.

    I can't wait to see how it goes Gabriel! I really like that tartan too. Are you going to give it a name?
