I received a small bolt of the black version of our tartan from Barb yesterday (except for an eight yard chunk that she hung on to....gee, I wonder what I should have her do with it????)
It's Dalgliesh, single-width heavyweight, where the previous blue version we had woven was double width. We figured that if we ever wanted this one woven we should probably get it done while the yarn colors are still available and while there are still some weavers in business.
It's pretty interesting how they can be so similar, but so different just by changing one color. No classy name for these yet. We called them T-6, blue and black, just because this pattern was the sixth tartan design I came up with that was a "maybe this is the one we should have woven" thing, and this pattern won. It's also interesting how bright red/orange the bright sections are. There is no really bright red or orange in the yarn selection - just a rusty orange and a fairly dark brick red (DCD red 50 &60).
It should pleat up kind of like this.
and kind of like this....only different...
