A 1949 Shuttle-Craft Guild pamphlet by Harriet C. Douglas giving thread-count color setts for 132 traditional Scottish tartans. The introduction covers the history and standardization of tartans, threading and weaving as a balanced 2-2 twill, yarn choices (Bernat Fabri wool, Lily Mills cottons), warp setting for various articles, books on tartans, and estimating yarn. The bulk is an alphabetical listing (Anderson to Wemyss) of setts, each with pattern units A, B, C, D, the number of threads per color stripe, and total ends.
