A sample portfolio accompanying Harriet Tidball's Shuttle Craft Monograph Five, The Weaver's Book of Scottish Tartans. It contains twelve mounted swatches cut from tartan yardages, with a text key describing each sample: the tartan name and number, yarn, sett in ends per inch, and weaver or mill. The notes discuss traditional, ancient (faded), hunting, pre-proscription unnamed and substitute ("bastard") colorings, and the suitability of each fabric for suits, scarves, children's jackets, kilts and dress fabric.
