Response to the Tartan info on the Ross Modern Red frome Barb & Hothin
Barbara, oh I think I see what your saying now.
Sorry I was in and out today and only had a moment to glance
at what you both had posted.
Mr. Ethelnor, thank you for sending the great shot of the tartan with the marks.
Barb, so you are saying between the outer black marks or double those?
I also received the threadcount details from the Scottish Register of Tartans.
I was hoping to just try counting out the threads, I guess I could, however
there's about 448 different threads across, so it can get one, well, "bug-eyed". Comparing that to some of the ones near the front of your book, "The Art of Kiltmaking, it's somewhere between the Weathered Ferguson and the MacLachlan tartan in inches, right?
Will looking at the threadcount help or does it not matter much?
Oh, where is the best place to order the straps?
I am studying the book slowly to get it just right and I was hoping to find someone who has made this kilt before.
I've tried contacting some of the people from the Ross tent at one of the games, but have not heard back from any. Oh almost forgot, the fabric is 16 oz. Lochcarron Strome.
Thanks again for all the help and am really enjoyed this forum and everyone participating. Oh, by the way Barb, I like the you tube you posted, good job!!
Please keep in touch and happy kiltmaking.
Chris
