    Nice wee documentary

    I found this nice wee documentary called "How to make a kilt" on youtube. Strangely enough it isn't about kiltmaking but tartan design and production. I thought it was surprisingly good but it's probably a bit basic for the more experienced board members. Being quite new to these things I learned a thing or two.

    It is in two parts as follows:

    Thanks for the post, both are great and I love how the two ladies choose just the right colored yarn to end up with the correct tartan.

    Thanks for posting this. I caught the second part on catch up TV but missed the first part. The presenter stared in the Scottish detective drama 'Taggart' where the catchphrase was "There's been a murder!", hence the significance of his family history.
    The Kilt is my delight !
