An extraordinary invitation & unique Tartan opportunity

[figheadair]

I wove a length of this in 2001 matched to the original shades for Bob Martin (pictured). I know he later sold it to someone in the US but have no idea where it is now. It gives those interested an idea of what they will be getting albeit not handwoven.

Wow, thanks for posting these new pics of your work, Figheadair! Very nice, indeed. I wonder, might you have any other photos of your weave of this MacDuff Tartan? Some from the front, perhaps? Or, of the cloth itself?

Calling all MacDuff's & Duff's...

I invite you to peruse this thread for a rare opportunity to own a significant aspect of our history.

Just to let you all know that I am the 'other member of the rabble' that John refers to.

After much thought, and with the great aid of X-Marks, I came to the conclusion a couple of months ago that what I really wanted was a MacDuff kilt, as both my grandmother and great-grandmother were Duffs. They were two of the few family members still alive when I was a child and I have fond memories of them.

I had also decided that I wanted some sort of 'ancient' or 'muted' colour palette, so when I followed John's link I knew immediately that I had to be a part of this unique opportunity. I've had fun all weekend thinking what I might like to do, but I suspect I need to be realistic and settle for an 8 yard knife pleated kilt, and a matching bias-cut waistcoat. It did strike me that maybe Artificer needs to be given a call too...
