Making a day plaid (aka laird's plaid)

[creagdhubh]

I did check The Club of True Highlanders book again. It does say that the plaid would be 4 yards long.

I agree with this being the average length of a chap's simple (no pleating whatsoever - essentially a tartan blanket or throw with both ends fringed - typically hand-purled) day/blanket plaid.

Again Tobus, I would recommend making yours out of 4 yards of material.

Best of luck and be sure to share photos with the Rabble when it's all said and done!
