Having got some free time after 3 years in NI I'm thinking of putting a piece of Glenaladale on my loom. The plan is to warp 8 yards offset and weave with a selvedge mark and herringbone selvedge, that way it can be joined and used as a plaid or singlely as 1x8yd or 2x4yd kilt lengths. Will post some pics of the project.

A fascinating read, thank you. I wish I understood it more, but I guess you have to be a weaver. I find the old fragments more appealing than modern weaves. Why is that? Is it the quality of thread used?

It's not just the thread, it's the dyes, texture and so much more....
