Amazing tartan windfall

[Dhuni]

My SWIMPAL was over visiting mom the other day and when she got home, she handed me a bag and said "Here, this is from Lynn(cousin), he thought you might want it."
She hadn't even looked in the bag and when I finally did, I was thrilled to find

8+ yards of real 30" Homespun Fraser hunting tartan.
Way back in the mid 1960's our local band of Fraser's commissioned a run of this heavy material through Campbell's House of Highland Tweed in Beauly. My uncle stashed this hunk away in a cedar chest way back then.
There are several 40 year old tanks from this same batch still around, one of which belongs to me.
Looks like I finally have a winter plaid!

Very nice, it's wonderful to have such a unique story behind it. Please remember to take photos when you have a kilt made from it.

I'm jealous. A tartan is so much more valuable with a little seasoning.

Absolutely fantastic! What a great gift.

That is way cool. And I love the look of the tartan in this photo!

[Tattoo Bradley]

That's GREAT! And, by coincidence, I absolutely adore the Fraser hunting tartan!

Wow! That's awesome. I love when things like that happen to me. I just wish it were more often. Congratulations and enjoy the tartan. It's beautiful. Don't forget to post pics of anything made with it.
