    Re: Tartan of the month - December: What do you see?

    The selvedge at the top appears to be barlycorn, but is probably just more 'jigging' and it also breaks the tartan sett with what looks to be white threads.

    Could the 'jigging' be some kind of thread counting marker?

    It's actually standard twill weave but the alternating single and double bue and white threads makes it appear a little like plain weave.

    There appears to be at least one, likely two intentional holes in the fabric at the top by the yellow lines. Could we have a closer look at that?

    Looks like general wear and tear to me.
