Issue of the Kentucky Weaver (February 1951, Vol. IV, No. 2) devoted to Scottish tartans woven on a 4-shaft even twill. It opens with an introduction on tartan history and current uses, with book recommendations, then gives threading drafts and sett notes for the Barclay, Clergy, Elliot, Leslie, Logan/MacLennan, MacAlpine, MacLeod, MacMillan, Macpherson (dress and grey hunting), MacQueen and Wallace tartans. Each page gives basic, typical and scaled-down thread counts, color blocks, sett and yarn suggestions (nylon, wool, mercerized cotton, linen), and notes on afghans, shirting, upholstery, scarves and bags made at the Little Loomhouse. The issue also includes clan history, tips for new young weavers, and a swatch page.
