    The Tartan Weaver's Guide

    A friend of ours, who is a spinner and a weaver, loaned me The Tartan Weaver's Guide, by James D. Scarlett. As you can see by the photos, it is not a very large book. However, the author has included in this small package, the listing of 228 thread counts, color photographs of 142 Tartans, and historical notes.



    Closeup of the layout.



    While I am not a weaver, I found the book to be an interesting and easy read. I intend to add it to my library.

    If you have an interest in weaving, or just want to learn more about tartan, I would recommend this book.
