    But in a square of fabric, you can't tell whether the warp or the weft is horizontal. If you just rotate a square 90 degrees, what is left-slanting becomes right slanting, even you don't flip the piece over. So, I don't think looking at how someone has a square tartan swatch oriented means much.

    What gives?

    I was just looking at my kilt Kollection and discovered that the two kilts I have from Lochcarron seem to be made with the twill running the opposite direction from the ones made by other manufacturers. I have Barb's book and the ones from Lochcarron definitely run the other way from what she suggests. My one kilt made while I was in Scotland runs the way Barb suggests. What gives?:confused:
