Tartan of the Month - April

[figheadair]

It's a twill weave, symmetrical sett. Sample swatch?
The blue and red are vibrant, but the green is a little pale. Makes me think that it was a choice or limitation based on the availability of green dye stuffs rather than weathering.

Yes
Yes
What? - No
Yes

I can't determine its symetry, but is everything from the broad blue stripe towards the edge a border? If so that would make this the corner of a larger piece. If not, then the sett is much larger than the piece shown.

No evidence of it being a corner. The full sett can be determined.

Was that "huh" for me? What I mean is that I am guessing that the bottom edge is a selvage and the left edge is an end. All the edges are frayed now, so it's a bit difficult to tell. However, the bottom edge is frayed less, and partly for that reason I believe it's a selvage. The other reason I believe it's a selvage is because there appear to be a few stripes near it (i.e. the bottom edge), and also near the left edge, that do not appear to be repeated elsewhere in the sett.

Not a selvedge in sight.

Keep those thoughts coming.
