Kid's Tartans

[Barb T]

I love asymetrical tartans. The Welsh seem to do that more than the Scots ....

Actually, the Welsh tartans aren't asymmetrical. An asymmetric Scottish tartan has identical warp and weft, but the repeat is something like

ABC ABC ABC ABC (no pivots, no mirror points)

rather than

ABACABAC (pivots at B and C)

The Welsh tartans typically have different warp and weft, although each is symmetrical. So the warp might be

ABACABAC

but the weft might be

ADACADAC
