Boy, photos make a difference this tartan is beautiful and looks nothing like the depiction in the national register. Can you please tell me who weaves this tartan please? Thanks
There are a couple of Mull tartans - this is the Mull Millenium, and, no, it doesn't look a thing like the computer image. It doesn't even look right on ScotWeb, and they are usually pretty good. http://www.scotweb.co.uk/buy/tartan-...material/59304
It was designed by Rosalind Jones of Mull, and, when Ros had her shop (Celtic Originals), she used to sell it in 11-12 oz weight woven by Dalgliesh. I bought a length to make a shirt for my husband. When I decided to make a Mull kilt for myself, she gave me permission to have Dalgliesh weave a length of it in 16 oz, and the colors are the same as in the original that they wove. It's still on the bolt - one of these days, I'm going to make myself a new kilt!
