tartan weaving
Tartan weaving is a traditional textile technique that creates patterned fabric using a specific arrangement of colored threads. The patterns, known as tartans, consist of crisscrossed horizontal and vertical stripes in various colors and widths. Each tartan design is unique and often associated with specific Scottish clans or regions, making it a significant part of Scottish heritage.
The process of tartan weaving typically involves using a loom, where threads are interlaced to form the desired pattern. The fabric can be made from different materials, including wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers, and is commonly used for clothing, accessories, and home decor items.
