Hello from Londonderry Ohio
New member here, I am descended from a sept of the Clan MacFarlane. Love wearing my kilts. Looking for the thread count for both warp and weft of weaving the Black and White Tartan for Clan MacFarlane. Was gifted a floor loom so once I have it restored would love to weave the Black and White Tartan.

There seems to be some confusion over what is in the Scottish Tartans Authority listings and that the "Official" Scottish Register of Tartan does not list the Black and White version at all, and what is listed as "Lendrum" is Black and Red.
The Scottish Tartans Authority says the Black and White version is is from the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1847 which we now know was an invention of the brothers Sobieski-Stuart's and gives this description.
"This tartan is unnamed in the Highland Society of London Collection (original has a much smaller sett). A sample in the Inverness Museum and also in the MacGregor Hastie Collection is labelled Wallace Dress. It's also known as the Lendrum or Black and White MacFarlane. There is an alternative MacFarlane B & W on record with a slightly different thread count. Sample in STA Dalgety Collection."
Perhaps Peter MacDonald can help us here.
