That is incredible! We all should have one

[Paul Henry]

ok ok.. I know I'm being pedantic.... but it is a tartan weaving video... not a kilt weaving one, that really would be something to see in action

Thank you,

What a treat! Is this a great board or what?

I don't know; seeing that kinda' takes the romance out of the tartan.

I thought it was quite interesting. Some of the magic of a kilt and tartan is subdued with the use of the machanical looms but this makes the tartan affordable to the masses. I couldn't imagine how long it would take by hand.

Yes, interesting but kind of "industrial." I suppose I knew that, but the thought of individual weavers, like Harris Tweed, lingers . . .
