    Robertson with the white line in silk. This was a technique that Wilsons perfected where silk was used, mostly for white and yellow, in some of their tartans. Not something that a commercial weaver will do today because of the difference in the way silk and wool react during the finishing process.



    MacNeil (Red line). An outfit made by Bob Martin (and others - the jacket?) for a museum in, I think N. Carolina.



    Selvedge Pattern from a reconstruction of a plaid from Nova Scotia - discussed here. Note the traditional method of turning the ends and also the herringboning.
