Its hard enough just getting the materials.
I weave a little, and I took one look at the logistics of weaving a tartan and decided that it was not for me.
Even when you have the right colours the fineness is difficult, and you have to get the warp all the same tension, and then weave so it is balanced, and straight on the grain too. Once it is off the loom it has to be worked and fulled
The more I learn about weaving the more I look at ebay fabrics.
