What I Learned Weaving a Traditional Tartan On a Floor Loom (Almost) Warping, Fixing Mistakes.

[@EmL-kg5gn]

I feel like I actually kind of understand weaving and looms after watching this! It turned out beautifully!!! In a time when so many things are manufactured I think those kinds of inconsistencies show the love that went into this 💕

[@br.finncollbuckley368]

A TIP FOR NEXT TIME, from a longtime bagpiper and novice weaver: the Scottish Registry of Tartans will actually provide you with the threadcounts of any tartan in their database for free! You just have to register an email address with them, and they’ll happily send you the same documents that the professional mills use to weave genuine traditional tartan!

[@crazyhorsetrading8655]

Thanks for the info. I'm battling to find the sett for the McCulloch clan I shall send them a message right away.

[@WthrLdy]

As long as it is not a private restricted use tartan, many are. (I'm a tartan weaver and designer.)

[@LARPBeard]

[@aussieauntynette6892]

Thank you so much for this ❤😊 Have a great day from Australia

[@aynos629]

Thank you so much for that tip! I am studying textiles and I forgot about this and I am weaving tartan in 2 weeks

[@gerryivkovich1857]

I am totally impressed. Kudos to anyone who knows how to use a multi-shaft loom. Just for your info, I live near Red Stone Glen Fiber Center which Tom Kinsley ( author of articles for Handwoven ) owns with his daughter Sarah. He is a renowned weaver and teacher. The center even has a retreat B&B for week long classes. Tom actually taught a novelty spinning class that I took early on my spinning journey and Sarah does all the rigid heddle classes ( took a few of those, too) Maybe you'll come out this way some day. Thanks for including all of us as you create.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I sure wish I could go for Week of weaving classes. What a dream.

[@melaniereising5661]

Love your woven tartan! Decades ago I dated a Scot named John Murray. I needlepointed a pillow for him in one of the Murray tartans. Lots of history and stories behind the patterns.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Yeah, it's so interesting really. I've never really wanted to recreate a traditional fabric before, because I always want to make new things, but it was fun.

[@catherinec7509]

I love the warping mill. I also love your dedication to accuracy and that scarf is incredible cool. I absolutely love it!!! I think your selvage is fine and it is home made and you are new with your loom so I would stop being so hard on yourself. No one would notice. I suspect there are no weaving police. LOL You Rock.

My older sister did a DNA test recently from 23 & me. We were always told our heritage was primarily British. Her DNA test came back as 30% Scottish. Surprise! I'm love all plaid. Thanks for sharing this project!

They are from the bellybutton to the knee. Full 8 yards pleated 100% wool. Yes they are traditional we buy them from a shop in Scotland. And no we are not Scottish and don’t have a family pattern.

You did a great job and John will be proud to wear it! I'm in awe of people who weave on a floor loom and will content myself with using a rigid heddle loom, but BRAVO!!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I used to say that too 🤣🤣

[@janatherton9194]

The Clark tartan looks very similar to the St. Andrew's Tartan of the kilt I had when I was about 10, the colours are almost the same. Many clans have multiple tartans, some worn for more formal wear. I used to work in a kilt store in Edinburgh which had a registry of the different ones, so I often would talk to customers that were looking for their roots.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I've learned a bit about tartans during the process. It's so interesting.

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Trish, I hope you're OK. John will be so Proud to wear His Scarf. I'm so in awe of you. Happy weaving and spinning. Take care and stay safe. Love you too xxxx Jen 💕💕💘

[@amymanselle7405]

The finished piece is so pretty. I've been planning to weave the MacKenzie tartan for about a year now, even have the thread. The MacKenzies also have multiple tartans, so I asked my grandma which tartan we use. She was so excited to help me plan the project, she even brought out her tartan scarf that she had tucked away. Good luck with the next tartan and happy weaving.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thanks! I think it'll be a few sets of towels first!

[@candyquilt]

The only weavings that I have done were several small to medium sized tapestry pieces about 40 years ago and some rag rug weaving on a large floor loom designed for that ( I did mostly long hall rugs and stair rugs so that I did not have to warp the loom very often) and those were done 45-50 years ago. I love watching you figure out the designs and make your pieces.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

Thank you so much, Candy! I never know how it is for others to watch, but I like to watch people make stuff, so why not, right?

Were you worried? I'm really happy with it. Not perfect, but pretty awesome!

[@ianmom2000]

Not worried, just unfamiliar.

[@Hood_Scale_Models]

just an fyi, if you tie your lease sticks to the loom you wont have to do all the jiggling of the sticks and you wont have to worry about them moving while you wind on the warp. Looks great though, good job Trish.

[@FiberLoveDiary]

I'm intrigued. This warp was so sticky, I don't know how I could have advanced it without wiggling the lease sticks. I'll have to see if I can find a video or something.

[@dominiquemichaud7945]

@@FiberLoveDiary Great job with this project! I was about to say the same thing about the lease sticks: if they are firmly attached, it will be easier with the warp. I put 2 hooks on the back part of the castle on my floor loom, about the same height as the back beam. I also use two long strings to tie the lease stick between the hooks and the back beam. I'm not sure my description is clear... Anyway, still an awesome result!

[@FiberLoveDiary]

[@mandayingyangdragon]

Omg!! this project is beautiful!!! I am soooo glad you talked about a warping mill today and showed us all how you did it. I bought a 38" RHL because your towel videos inspired me. An unexpected move later (thank work), I attempted to warp my loom and have failed twice because there tension. First attempt was in the hotel trying to direct warp, the peg flew off and the warp got all tangled. 2nd attempt was after I attempted to do a hybrid indrirect/direct warp from the bottom of the loom. Because of where the reed is my tension became super loose at the edge and I have spend 4 weeks (about an hr a day) and I still havent got very far and the more I try the more the edge gets loose. I looked up a warping mill but the few videos I found didnt go into details on how to incorporate that cross area when on the loom. Just that it is important. I feel so much better about getting a warping mill now. Because I really want to make dish towels

You could totally do this on arhl, but I would suggest doubling the yarn or using something thicker than sewing thread on a rhl. It would work fine!

[@JoyfulStitching]

Hi Trish, I did some research into the tartans. Blacks fade to dark red brown so some get logged that way. Some are more earth tones because relics are pulled from the peat and even though preserves the colors the natural dye fades and changes in the peat. I’m dyeing and weaving my Tartan. I want to go to Edinburgh and dance the Ceilidh sporting my tartan. 3/5 Irish 2/5 American Indian 8^{} !
