Mary Atwater introduces Scottish tartan plaids for American handweavers, covering the traditional Highland costume, the meaning of clan patterns, and practical advice on yarn, sett, warping and finishing. She gives thread-count setts for about a dozen tartans, including Rob Roy, MacGregor, Brodie, MacLeod, Macbeth, the Stewart tartans, Black Watch, Menzies, Murray of Tullibardine, Douglas, MacKay and MacQueen, with brief clan histories and colour descriptions. Suggestions are given for scarves, shirts, skirts, couch blankets and automobile robes.
