Project Clanranald WoB

Well, my step father is Clan Anderson, FOB from Glasgow so I'll be looking keenly at that one soon. It should make a nice contrast to Clanranald.

Looks good in Wilsons' colours, as does the Red Anderson.

I'll bet it does actually. Don't get me started.

And here it is:

I had sent a brighter green to be matched "as closely as their stock would permit", but cannot say I'm displeased with the result. The result is closer to the Wilson's Colours shown earlier and I'm sure it will make a wonderful set of garments over here.

Grateful am I to Gabe for going in on this project with me and facilitating the order as well as to Peter for the wealth of information and the samples he generously provided.

Can I trouble you for a more close-up shot of your tartan? I'm considering having a custom-run of Hunting MacMillan in the WOB colors. Thanks.

It should be mentioned that these are technically not Wilson's colours. I supplied the Blue, Green and Black from the Lochaber WoB swatch, the Red from Lochcarron's modern colours and the White from the sample twists Peter sent me and as I say, the Green now seems to be very close to the threads Peter provided.

Thanks for the additional photo and the clarification!

It's very nice looking 'X'!
