Kyntire Fern and Copper Haze tartans (Marton Mills)

[Alain MARION]

Compared to the "Buchanan", the "Buchanan Old Sett" tartan is symetrical. Personally, I prefer this type of tartans. A few years ago I had a kilt made in the Cuillins of Skye tartan; I loved the colours but just could not get used to the asymetrical pattern... Copper Haze offers a nice alternative, though with a smaller sett size. I look forward to seeing a kilt made in this particular tartan eventually.

Hello,

Marton Mills also weave the MacCarthy Jura 16oz Heavyweight. It is worth noting MacCarthy Old is also woven at clan.com, Edinburgh, UK. It's a good sign English Mills are starting to weave the rarer tartans. Yorkshire appears to be a good place to weave tartan!
