I finally did it! I had a better time warping my floor loom (Dolly) this time and weaving a traditional tartan (almost). I'm sharing the mistakes and what I learned. I have finally made peace with warping Dolly, and I feel like I turned a corner, and it took a WHOLE YEAR!
Lots more weaving to come now!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Honestly, the rigid heddle loom took me a while to feel like I had mastered warping, and then I went through the same thing with Dolly. But I'll say once I developed a method that worked for me, it was all a lot more fun.

so very pretty, I love it! I've been collecting the plaids from GK Textiles to make some history bounding/Outlander inspired skirts but have yet to begin any of them. I just stroke the fabrics and call them 'my precious', lol. But these colors and the pattern you have for John's tartan are absolutely beautiful.

I need to get my floor look warped again… the first time my threading was fine, but my warp had some tangles and wasn’t as neat as it should have been. I know it shouldn’t be a daunting task but it kind of is.

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^{} !

Hi this in my eyes is an amazing process. OK Im not into weaving and most likely never will. This wraping and calculating stuff scares my to death and I must commit, that you took me quite well through those tricky parts of the process. Thank you for that. The tartan wrap turned out beautifully and if you would knit such a thing Im convinced not all stitches would lool like the same. How ever if you look at it looks even awesome and you put all your love in it....you never gonna find something similar if you look out for an industrial one. Kind regards Bille

Wow! What a great project idea! My husbands family came from Scotland too, he would love something like this, always talks about wanting to travel there and learn more about his family roots. Would this project need a floor loom or would a rigid heddle loom suffice? Don’t have either right now but itching to get a rigid heddle

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!
