    You are so brave to dive into such weaving. I case it helps here are the colors (as best beach sand can convey them) in my Arizona tartan kilt.



    And here are the colors in Craig's



    You can see the difference - and the similarities....

    Keep us posted.

    And, sorry, its a pet peeve of mine....Prescott is NOT in Northern Arizona - its in Central Arizona...but no way in Northern Arizona...and these days it seems like its in California from all the Cali ex-pats taking up residence there.....course, from Page, everything in Arizona is southern...

    Weaving seems to be quite an art (especially tartan weaving). Hats off to you guys!

    Ha! A funny thing is that no one in California calls our state "Cali." That's how we know out-of-staters right away.
    My cousin in Oregon and I have a laugh about that every time I see him. It also reminds me of "Frisco." Aparently it irks San Franciscans.

    VERY neat thread, Red Raven and Chrome Scholar! I look forward to seeing your finished result.

    That's awesome. If I had infinite time, building a loom and weaving would be one thing I would like to do.

    Been known to call myself a Zonie.... Remember well the warning never to call San Francisco "Frisco" when I was a boy in Oregon.

    Dr Smith did a great job when he designed the Arizona tartan. Know you're gonna like it from the git go...wanting to get it done to be worn should motivate you....its just pretty....

    my trick is getting the time to weave, but I'm getting faster. it will be fun to see this one come together. making my first kilt, will be another challenge altogether. I think I qualify for a zonie been here since 82.
